During my prayer retreat in April the Lord called me, Cheryl, into a sabbatical season for the next four months starting on May 20th to Pause and Be in His presence. The LORD spoke to my spirit saying “it is a shemitah* summer for Freedom To Dance. Let the ministry field lie fallow so I may restore its strength and vigor.” Therefore I am laying down Freedom To Dance activities over the summer. That is, I will not be accepting ministry engagements or planning outreaches. I will be sending out communications infrequently and hope to attend social gatherings that others organize. Currently the plan is to start classes again in the Fall at Renewed Hope Church.
May Jehovah Shalom, the Lord Our Peace, revitalize and restore you over this summer filling you with His presence and refreshment!!
*For the Jews every seventh year was a shemitah year dedicated to the Lord. During this sabbatical year, fields lie fallow, agricultural work is forbidden, and debts are forgiven, emphasizing trust in God and social equality.
Thanks for Prayer Covering for Art Event





Praise the LORD for His presence and thank you, Holy Spirit, for leading us in dance on Sunday, May 17th, at the Great Commission Artists event! A big thank you to the entire team, whether you ministered in dance, covered us in prayer, or supported us by taking pictures and video! Holy Spirit helped the worship artists to all flow together and many were blessed! All glory to your name, Adonai!
Thanks for Prayers for Rededication Events +




Thanks also for your prayers for the Rededication of America events on Sunday, May17th, as well as the Benediction (Blessing) over America and Minnesota Gathering by the state capitol! Jolene is grateful for the amazing way God provided for her to go to Washington DC this past weekend for this very historic time in preparation of the 250th Birthday of our Country. Cheryl praises the LORD for holding off the rain and for the sweet incense of prayer and worship at the St. Paul capitol! The Minnesota group also specifically prayed for the strengthening of the legislators as they met for the final hours of the legislative session. (By law, all bills need to be passed before midnight of May 18.) The Minnesota gathering ended with a corporate dance to “The Blessing” and “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Praise the LORD for the multiple generations who joined in declaring with movement these songs!
Jolene, also give thanks for your prayers for her and her family! God is helping them go forward by faith and prepare a Celebration of Life for her mom, Patricia. She is very thankful for all the comfort and help that the LORD has been bringing.
