Sunday......Holy?

This week in class we were asked the question whether "Sunday was Holy?" Specifically we were asked to think about whether we would encourage our worshipping community to play football on a Sunday instead of going to church?
Should Sunday be a day where everything stops, where all we do is go to church and spend time with our families? No games, no TV etc...
Or has it become a day that is now part of a seven day week with no distinction between week days and weekends?
Either way Sport on Sundays is big business as well as a past time for local people to be involved with.
For me the question is not about whether its on a Sunday or not the question that sprung to my mind is "what is church?" Surely a football to is as good an expression of a christian community as you could hope for. Common goal, team work, focused on others, commitment, hope, expectation and using your talents. There is no reason why a football team can't be "Church." In my experience, A football team with Jesus at the heart can change people, maybe not over night but season after season, He can break in to people's lives and make them feel part of a kingdom and not just a team.
Would I play football on a Sunday? Oh Yes! If as a leader I say one thing and do another, I am not much of a leader!
