Bring Your Best | Exodus 15:18-21
Can Christians Dance?
The world misses out on so much worship! God does amazing things daily, yet we often shrug our shoulders, thank our ‘lucky stars,’ and keep our foot on the pedal. Not Miriam! Miriam understands that worship happens when people notice what God has done, find words (and tambourines), and get up and dance in celebration of God’s good gifts.

- What do you seek from worship? What do you expect from a Sunday morning service?
