After a group reading of the Gospel story of the Loving Father/Prodigal Son
Sheila Carey and Helen Duffy performed an inspiring liturgical dance to
"Lay your hands gently upon me" by Carey Laundry
Many were deeply moved. After the dance, the community shared their insights on the Gospel in a dialogue homily. At he Eucharistic Prayer, the community came around the altar and recited the prayers of consecration with their arms extended. Our circle was so large that it went down the center aisle.
There were about 15 new people visiting, many from Wisconsin, one from Ireland and a couple from Pennsylvania. I believe there were between 60 and 70 present. Each week more people come through our doors and are warmly welcomed by our ministry team. Sarasota is a tourist area in the winter and spring, so we get lots of new people who then share the good news with their friends and associates and so we thank God for the growth.
