“The synchrony involved in dancing to a beat along with other people is a powerful way for humans to connect.” Ginny Brown of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing agrees. “Dancing brings people into social space where they can work together on mutual enjoyable activity.

Video yourself and friends dancing a dance of joy! At the end of our Easter Series, we will put together your videos and share with our MCC families and friends to let the world know we Dance for Hope, Dance for Justice and Dance for Love!

Dare to Dance Again: Dancing Together with Saxophonist Eirrin Abu

Our Easter celebration will continue this week with Eirrin Abu who will be our guest speaker, sharing his testimony and beautiful music.

Eirinn Abu and his wife, Brandy, enjoy visiting churches to worship and praise and share God’s music with everyone. Eirinn Abu has now performed and shared his testimony on how God saved his life in over 1,000 churches in the last ten years. You can expect a very blessed and moving experience that will warm your heart and feel the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Note: Please support Eirrin’s ministry with a love offering to be collected on Sunday.

The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the LORD. 21Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Creator has sent me, I am sending you." 22And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. John 20: 19-20
