What if, instead of fighting it when things don\u2019t go as planned, we&nbsp;leaned into the change and improvised?&nbsp;Improv offers an invigorating approach to life as individuals and as spiritual communities. From Moses to Ruth&nbsp;to Jesus, scripture is full of people boldly saying \u201cyes, and\u2026\u201d as they receive what life throws their way and build upon it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join&nbsp;pastor and author&nbsp;MaryAnn McKibben Dana for a spirited exploration of \u201cyes, and\u2026\u201d&nbsp;and other tools for faithful improvisation. We are all improvisers, often without realizing it. The focus of our time together will not be on acting and comedy skills, but on practices for thriving in the midst of chaotic, often unpredictable lives.
