LECTION
REFLECTION
ZUMBA DANCE WITH
GOD
The presiding
pastor will introduce the theological reflection and orientation of the ZUMBA.
ZUMBA
is a phenomenal and worldwide –known fitness dance developed by Alberto
“Beto”Perez, a Columban choreographer and dance instructor. It is a combination
originally of a Latin American dances such as salsa, samba, mambo and aerobic
movement with energetic music, alternating the fast and slow rhythms. It is a
calorie-burning dance that brings people together regardless of their size,
race, generation, culture, and sexual orientation.. It is a dance and aerobic
movements that boost energy and condition our muscles. ZUMBA dance has
choreography, but participants are welcome to modify and develop their own
steps and moves. The SPMCI understands ZUMBA as a Zealous (a dance with Passion),
Unifying (a dance that Accepts one another regardless of our
races, generation, political convictions and sexual orientation), Mending (a dance that Restores our being as created in the
image of God), Bonding (a dance that
strengthens our Ties with one
another, with other creations and the ecosystem), and Acclaiming (a dance that sustains our Young-looking personality as we praise and worship the Lord). Thus,
ZUMBA is a dance to God and with God, a PARTY dance or a dance of celebration
with God. Amen.
At this moment,
the Zumba Dance Instructor will introduce the steps and lead the dance. The
SPMCI Zumba Dance is a modified Zumba dance, inspired from the indigenous
people’s dance movements, in response to the rhythm of the environment, in
addition to the selected Latin inspired dance and other aerobic movements, and
with the accompaniment of selected Gospel music.
The prayer leader
will lead the concluding prayer.
THE AGAPE MEAL
The people will
gather or face at the table where the Chicken Macaroni Soup is being set or
prepared. The presiding pastor will stand behind the table. A preparatory song
will be led by the SInAG ng SPMCI. Then the pastor will lead the introductory.
Pastor: The Lord be with you.
Community: And also with you!
Pastor: Lift up your heart!
Community: We lift them up to Lord.
Pastor: Let us give thanks to the Lord
our God!
Community: It is right to give thanks and
praise.
Pastor: Let us pray. Living God, you are present in our midst.
Community: and we praise you.
Pastor: In our fellowship dance
and meal today, you boost our energy and spirit.
Community: For this, we praise you…
Pastor: Because, in Jesus, you have
shown us the steps and moves to dance with the poor, oppressed, marginalized,
exploited, and deprived.
Community: For this we give You
thanks, O God our Parent, the Lord of the Dance.
All: Amen.
THE BLESSING OF
THE FOOD
Pastor: As we gather at this table, we
remember these words of our Lord Jesus Christ: “I am the living bread that came
down from heaven. If you eat this bread, you will live forever.” (John 6:51).
Community: We come to this table
hungry and thirsty. Satisfy us, O God.
Pastor: We will enjoy the meal
with you, O Lord, and with one another.
The pastor will continue to say:
The
chicken macaroni soup that we are about to partake will nourish our hearts to
be in L.O.V.E. A life that Love one
another (Romans 13: 8), Obeying the
law (Romans 13:8) or the commandments of God, or the ethical instructions of
the Lord (Romans 13: 9), being Vocal
in loving our neighbour as we love ourselves (Romans 13: 10), and Enlightened, as we live in the Light
(Romans 13:13).
Then the pastor may hold hands, palms down, over the bowls of
the chicken macaroni soup:
Pour
your Holy Spirit on us gathered here, and on these bowls of chicken macaroni
soup that through these you may give us new life, boost our energy and our hope
to live a life that is CHRISTIC, a life to its fullness.
The pastor may raise hands.
By your Spirit make us one with the
Lord of the Dance, the Christ of many colours, enjoying the gift of diversity
with one another, and one in ministry to all the world, now and forever. Amen.
The pastor will
lead the sharing of the bowls of the chicken macaroni soup. Then a Concluding
Hymn will be sung and followed by the Final Blessing.
HYMN
“LORD
OF THE DANCE” UMH261
I
danced in the morning when the world was begun
I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun
I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth
At Bethlehem I had my birth.
I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun
I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth
At Bethlehem I had my birth.
Refrain:
DANCE, DANCE, WHEREVER YOU MAY
BE
I AM THE LORD OF THE DANCE, SAID HE
AND I LEAD YOU ALL, WHEREVER YOU MAY BE
AND I LEAD YOU ALL IN THE DANCE, SAID HE.
I AM THE LORD OF THE DANCE, SAID HE
AND I LEAD YOU ALL, WHEREVER YOU MAY BE
AND I LEAD YOU ALL IN THE DANCE, SAID HE.
I
danced for the scribes and the Pharisees
They wouldn't dance, they wouldn't follow me
I danced for the fishermen James and John
They came with me so the dance went on. R
They wouldn't dance, they wouldn't follow me
I danced for the fishermen James and John
They came with me so the dance went on. R
I danced on the
Sabbath and I cured the lame
The holy people said it was a shame
They ripped, they stripped, they hung me high
Left me there on the cross to die. R
The holy people said it was a shame
They ripped, they stripped, they hung me high
Left me there on the cross to die. R
I
danced on a Friday when the world turned black
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back
They buried my body, they thought I was gone
But I am the dance, and the dance goes on. R
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back
They buried my body, they thought I was gone
But I am the dance, and the dance goes on. R
They cut me down
and I leap up high
I am the life that will never, never die
I'll live in you if you'll live in me
I am the Lord of the dance, said he. R
I am the life that will never, never die
I'll live in you if you'll live in me
I am the Lord of the dance, said he. R
+BLESSING

us and keeps us. Empower us to make our
life FIT, which means Faithful to God, Intercultural Competent, and Transformed
