Party at Centennial Lakes 5/25 & Celebrate Jesus 5/27!

Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life. Let your joy overflow! And let gentleness be seen in every relationship, for our Lord is ever near. Philippians 4:4-5

Join us in celebrating all the LORD has done during the 2022-2023 Season next week on Thursday, May 25th, at a potluck picnic at Centennial Lakes Park in Edina from 6:30-8:30pm! There are some benches and tables to the right of Hughes Pavilion which we will use for the potluck. Please bring a dish to share. Freedom To Dance will supply all dishes and water bottles. Dancers and their families are invited to come!

After eating and having fellowship together we will praise the LORD with movement and pray, wherever Holy Spirit leads us in the park!

Celebrate Jesus on 5/27 at 10 am

The Lord reigns; let the peoples tremble! He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake! The Lord is great in Zion; he is exalted over all the peoples. Let them praise your great and awesome name! Holy is he! Psalm 99:1-3

Celebrate Jesus is a procession of praise through the streets of the city, celebrating the Lordship of Jesus Christ and culminating in a grand worship event in which Christians publicly proclaim the Glory, the Majesty and the Supremacy of the Savior. It’s all about Jesus … and nothing else.  We will not be displaying individual church signs or different ministry t-shirts that day. Signs and t-shirts celebrating Jesus are welcome, as well as flags and other worship tools.  Invite others to join you!

What better time of the year for the Church to declare its oneness? Pentecost Weekend.

Pentecost marks the birth of the Church and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to all nations. (Acts 2:1-4) Let’s celebrate our Savior throughout the Twin Cities, this year on Saturday, May 27, 2023.

Powerful and Anointed Worship at National Day of Prayer Events!

When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. Psalm 34:17

We are so thankful for everyone who came to the National Day of Prayer and to God for his faithfulness and showing His sign of two Eagles soaring above us as we worshiped. It was phenomenal because we serve a Great and Mighty God who is worthy of our praise! Thank you also for your prayer covering for those who ministered at the Alleluia Sanctuary Church during that evening. We were told the dance was powerful and anointed. Glory to King Jesus!

Holy Spirit’s Presence and the LORD’s Healing and Deliverance in Anoka!

Thanks for your prayers! We sensed your prayer covering as well as Holy Spirit’s presence as we worshiped King Jesus with “Revelation Song” and “Greater Still.” The second song was a perfect lead in to testimonies about how the LORD had set people free, brought deliverance, and were healed the previous night all because His great Grace and Love!

Class Day Change to Tuesday, 4/18 and Thanks for Prayer!

Class Day Change to Tuesday, 4/18

Due to another event at Lighthouse Christian Church on Thursday evening, April 20th, Freedom To Dance will be meeting on Tuesday, April 18th, at 6:30pm instead. Thanks for your flexibility with this change!

THANKS FOR PRAYER COVERING IN WISCONSIN RAPIDS:

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17

Thanks for your prayer covering while Brian and Cheryl ministered with Time To Revive in Wisconsin Rapids, WI this weekend! There 79 teams that went out. 22 people received Jesus and there were 4 baptisms. Glory to God! One story from the teams Cheryl went on was one woman, who although she declined prayer at the time, made a great connection with a local team member. They both have grandchildren in the same grade at the same school, and will be attending the same school event next week. Pray the LORD will connect the two again at Lumberjack Days this Friday! Another God story from Brian’s team is they stopped at a garage sale and the man had prayed that morning asking for someone to talk to him about God that day. God is so good!
