In rehearsal last night, we played a game. (Not unusual for us!) But it was the *way* we played it. We often use this game when we're at summer camps or other venues with children. Last night, VIPs worked on how to include children and how to adapt the game on the fly. What we were really teaching them is how to care for other people.

It's part of the unseen force that binds VIP together, woven into all of our interactions. How are we caring for each other today? In VIP, we see that as a skill to be learned.

Last night, several of our upper classmen walked into the room with the difficulty of the day written all over their faces. Some days are hard. Our kids still show up. For them, care looked like this during VIP's game:
- One VIP took a power nap in the foyer.
- One VIP took some quiet time in the sanctuary, listening to another singer rehearse a solo.
- One jumped into the game with both feet and by the end, she was laughing.

I ended rehearsal. saying, "We'll close with X piece because it's {VIP's name} favorite." From her seat, she laughed and yelled, "I LOVE this song!"

The difficulty of the day diminished as they sang.
