I remember once, a person leaving church, pointing out how they were tired of all the sports analogies. I appreciate they can get tiresome.

Let’s consider a list: sport teams, choirs, symphonies, marching bands... What other groups can you think of where people offer their individual gifts/labors and add them to the larger group?

In addition to the above, I can think of most jobs, the military, and church! Yes, the church.
