Big Idea: As Easter people we celebrate the Spirit that continues to give life and breath to dry bones. We dare to dance in the face of fear, in the face of cynicism, in the face of despair. We dare to dance as long as we live, for we, like the early Christians, are the recipients of the Spirit of God which keeps inviting us to the dance floor.

Big Idea: We know the hope we have been called to, but the intervening time is tricky. What dance steps could we be practicing now, when the particulars about the end of the dance are not yet clear? In any case, dancing, clapping, moving with purpose and yet with abandon, is still called for.

Big Idea: The gospel of resurrection means that we have to understand our own lives in an entirely new way. We have to learn--and to dare--how to dance again in the new creation. Lives are lived and love is loved in the new dance of resurrection.

Big Idea: As we come to the last week of this Lent journey, we have experienced the blessings of turning away from the noise of the world in order to turn inward to hear that "still small voice" of God. What is God's calling to each of us and whose feet are we being called to wash? When we listen to God's voice we can find our life's purpose. When we let go of our own expectations and surrender to the Jesus way, our life's purpose will become clear.

Big Idea: We often have a "cast of characters" living inside our heads. "They" carry on endless conversations - each from their own perspective, comparing the self with others. The chatter can keep us from a deeper listening. It is difficult to understand our mystical connections to God when our minds are full of chatter. Knowing your true self as the person God loves will help you dismiss the false selves that chatter in fear, pessimism, and accusation, and who bully us into negative action.
