The Eighth Sunday after Pentecost

What is our response when we feel the presence of God around us or within us? Do we raise our hands to the air or drop our knees to the earth? Do we sing or dance or simply hold the moment close to our hearts? Using the text from the Second Book of Samuel, where King David dances before the ark of the Lord, as our starting point, this week we will ponder the role of joy in our individual and collective spiritual life.
