Meditation on and Expression of God’s Word through Dance
This program focuses on the connection between the body and the spirit, giving freedom to allow the good and bad inside us to have a tangible voice through our bodies. The participants will learn to have permission to be free to celebrate, and express their emotions as a part of their faith formation, through body movement. They will learn to express their imaginations and feedback through creative movement and dance.

Enjoy God’s Amazing Love |

God reveals himself to us through His creation; like a blue sky, birds singing and flowers blooming. God is in control, His amazing love never changes. Let us enjoy His love every single day, free to be me in Christ, praising and worshipping Him alone.

Joyful Heart |
|
Joy is an attitude, a choice.
When we believe in Christ, God give us a gift of a “Joyful heart”. However, when we are facing difficulties in life, we easily lose our focus. The scripture in 1 Thessalonians 5 reminds us to “Be cheerful no matter what, pray all the time, thank God no matter what happens.” This is the way God wants us who belong to Christ Jesus to live. It is your choice to rejoice.
Let us fix our eyes upon God and develop the attitude of gratitude. We have God’s purpose in our lives and hope.

Take the Wings and Led by the Lord (Psalms 139:1-10) |
|
God has searched me and He knows my words and thoughts completely. He discerns my life every day and is acquainted with all my ways.
He hems me in, behind and before, and lays his hand upon me so I can nowhere flee from his Spirit.
I’ll take the wings and fly up to Him for His hand will lead me.

Mourning into Dancing (Psalms 30) |

O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto Thee forever.”

The Heaven is Here in My Heart |
|
As human being, we, more often than not, experience a great deal of hardship in our life and for the most part we don’t understand why. It seems that we are losing the hope for the future and our heart is filled with fear. But we feel free from the disappointment and fear once again when we look back to the Cross because there is no fear in the love of God and the heaven is actually here in my heart. Therefore, let us behold God and dance with him alone for it is his amazing love that sets us free.

Ephesians 4:4-6
There is one body and one Spirit--just as you were called on one hope, when you were called — one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over and through all and in all.
God is well pleased to see us not only present our bodies as a living sacrifice but also work together with other bodies in Christ as a united one for the prosperity of His work as a sacrifice of glory. Let’s all present ourselves to the Lord as a living sacrifice pleasing Him. |
