(This is our covenant for how we agree to be in relationship with the members of the team. Where appropriate, it can be assumed that we extend this covenant to our relationships with the congregation at large. We will do the best we can with our chocolate.)

We enter this covenant with gratitude for how it supports us to show up and participate fully.

• We assume best possible intentions
• We speak for ourselves
• We ask for confidentiality when needed and keep confidentiality when requested
• We will be kind, considerate and responsible with one another.
• We take our work, but not ourselves, seriously.
• When decisions have been reached, the Team will speak with one voice when communicating outcomes
• We avoid triangulation by encouraging direct, clear and immediate expression of information, feelings and needs
• We fulfill our commitments or renegotiate
• We will support one another in making space for our personal lives and offering each other good company
• We will share our chocolate
