This evening’s (2/5) dance practice is rescheduled due to weather.  Hope to see you Thursday, February 7, at The Father’s House!!

We will be starting weekly classes tomorrow, Tuesday, February 5, at  The Father’s House !   The Father’s House is located in Burnsville at 609 Travelers Trail W on the southern end of a business park, next to 3 Key Logic.  (Through a number of divine appointments God led Gateway Church and The Father’s House to combine late last summer and the sign on the business park building still says Gateway.)   If you come on 35 W, the most direct way for both directions is to take the Burnsville Parkway exit.  From the North turn right and then take the next left onto Traveler’s Trail West or from the South go straight over Burnsville Parkway onto Traveler’s Trail West.  Classes will be at:  6:30-7:30 pm for 5 year olds to 5th grade and 7:30-8:30 pm for 6th grade through adult.  We look forward to praising the Lord Jesus with you!

If this will be your first time, please print and fill out a copy of our 2018-19 F2D Registration Form to bring with you.  Included here also is a link to our 2018-19 F2D Info Packet.  We will have copies of these at class as well.

Thank you all for praying for God to provide a new home for Freedom to Dance classes; the LORD has answered your prayers!!  The Father’s House has opened their doors to us and we have received a warm welcome!   Starting on Tuesday, February 5, we will be holding class there weekly on Tuesdays.  The Father’s House is located in Burnsville at 609 Travelers Trail W.  (Through a number of divine appointments God led Gateway Church and The Father’s House to combine late last summer.  The sign on the business park building still says Gateway, and is visible traveling south on 35W to the left/east around Hwy. 13 and Burnsville Parkway. )  Classes will be at the usual times:  6:30-7:30 pm for 5 year olds to 5th grade and 7:30-8:30 pm for 6th grade through adult.

We did not get to do a service project around Thanksgiving/Christmas this year, so God has put it on our hearts to go to Feed My Starving Children in Eagan (990 Lone Oak Rd #136, Eagan, MN 55121). We will be there next week on Tuesday (1/29) from 6-7:30 pm.

Thanks so much for everyone who danced, prayed, and blessed us this Christmas season.  Thank you for bringing Light and Joy to those we ministered to at the Christmas parties at Hosanna! and for the Oasis de Amor’s Women’s Group.  At the Women of Wisdom party an elf (former F2D dancer) joined us for one song!  And at the the Women’s Group party many joined in for our final song, “Noche de Paz.”  Praise God for all the answers to prayer, including healing and making a way for dancers to come!!  He is our Provider: Emmanuel–God with us!
