The popular TV comedy series Ted Lasso just completed its 3rd and final season. The show’s premise – what happens when an American college football coach is recruited to lead a professional English football (soccer) club – is the backdrop for profound community-building lessons. This coming Sunday, as we celebrate and welcome new members, we’ll look at examples from Ted Lasso that deepen the ideas of “regenerative community” introduced last week. [Note: you do not have to have seen the show or have been present at our service last week in order to engage fully with the service. Rev. Janet will offer context without spoilers to help guide us into making meaning!]
