Funny little dance: singing a strange song in the Lord's land...

Thanks again to Emma Ineson for coming, listening, praying and reflecting on the work of our network and of enabling mission today.

Here are her final reflections: Download Reflections

Emma concluded by saying this:

So do continue asking ‘What on earth are we meant to be doing?” - whilst also knowing deep down why you are meant to be doing it. You are doing it because you want to invite the prodigals home, to invite others to the party.

The ‘Dancing’ clip can be downloaded at www.wherethehellismatt.com.

"Mission means inviting all the people of the earth to hear the music of God's future and dance to it today" (Christopher J. H. Wright ‘The Mission of God’).

So keep doing your funny little dance, sometimes people will join in with you and sometimes they won’t. Sometimes you will change the way you dance, but keep dancing, and God will be with you. 

And Emma left us with the image of Matt Harding and his "funny little dance" - odd perhaps, offbeat, but infectious, building community, pointing beyond ourselves. And Bonnie Appleton led the whole conference in our own version of that dance.

So here you go - three YouTube clips. Firstly Matt Harding. Then two views of us. Enjoy...
