No, you don't even need a ballfield!

Back when I was getting cranked up to start Trinity Lime Rock Summer Soccer, I came across the website for Cross of Life Lutheran Church -- and, very specifically, their summer soccer camps.

The link goes directly to their soccer camp page, but I recommend that you take a good look at the entire website of this church. (And, the last time I looked, Lutherans were considered very much a mainstream protestant denomination, thank you!)

One thing that should dawn on you very quickly is that this congregation does not have its own soccer field -- or, in fact, any real estate of its own! They "hold church" mainly in rented public buildings.

Yet, Glory Hallelujah, they STILL manage to do sports, and to do a lot of sports.

How can that be? Well, look at Cross of Life's website and find out!

(The sound you now hear is that of air escaping from mainstream protestant clergy who have been arguing against involving their parish or congregation in sports on the grounds that they have no place to do sports.)
