Resurrection-Fest
“And David danced before the Lord with all his might.”
-2 Samuel 6:14
If King David danced before the Lord will all his might because of return of the ark of God, how much more reason do we have to dance before the Lord because of the resurrection of King Jesus!
Standing upon this exegetical foundation and soaked in the joy of Easter Sunday, last night our twenties ministry hosted the first annual “Resurrection-Fest.” In lieu of our normal Thursday night gathering, we threw a dance party:
Each of the six community groups that meet within our twenties ministry were assigned a different costume theme.
The community group my wife and I lead was assigned a “hip-hop” theme:
Incidentally, my pregnant, hip-hop wife won the “dance off” competition. I was proud of her.
Leon and Anthony sported athletic gear from the 70′s:
The Limbo contest was intense:
The first annual Resurrection-Fest was a hit. You might want to try doing something similar at your church. Just clear it with your fellow elders/pastors first so that you don’t get fired.

Dude, you guys rock! :)
There was a time in the not-too-distant past when I thought I couldn’t have fun without the help of certain substances. I had an absolutely incredible time last night. So good, in fact, that I proved my former self wrong a hundred times over. Twenties got the joy, baby!
I leave for grad school for a few months, and look what happens..
haha.
SO. MUCH. FUN. I might dress like the 60′s everyday, if it means I have that much fun. And Joanna is right- Twenties got joy!
Tay made me proud- I’ve never seen a pregnant mama bust such mad moves!!!
Can a small group of believers in their 20′s really soak a spiritually parched Bay Area?
It worked for my wife… and I’m proud of her.
Praise be to God!
We can do it… “let’s Christ this city”

I have to say, it’s a wonderful party.
