Last week, Uncommon Sports Group traveled to Phoenix, Arizona where they had a Regional Gathering. USG hosted a meal for about 15 future and present sport industry professionals throughout the Phoenix metro area. Each of these individuals is pursuing a career in sports, whether already established in the industry or seeking to get their foot in the door.
Attending the Regional Gathering provided these individuals with a special opportunity to connect with other Christians working in the sport industry in their city. It also provided them an opportunity to spend time in community with other believers in their industry and worship alongside of them.
USG staff arrived early on Thursday to connect with our local contact and prepare the venue for the event. That evening, the Phoenix network began to show up to Pella Communities Mission in Glendale where the event took place. There was a brief period of greeting before the event got underway. This was followed by a time of socializing around a meal provided by USG. Attendees were able to get to know one another and build relationships over the meal.
This time of fellowship was followed by a time of worship through song, led by a local worship leader from Pella. Worship was followed by an encouraging message from a local pastor, and long-time military chaplain, Chad Kritenbrink. The message focused on Acts 2:42-47 and the importance of authentic Church community. Once the message concluded, attendees had some time to work through a series of reflection questions. These were centered around the importance of love, sacrifice, and biblical community.
In conclusion, the staff walked through future opportunities for further involvement with USG. This was a special night where the Christian sport industry community across Phoenix gathered to be encouraged to live out their faith in their careers and get connected to one another.
