A Blessing

I have written before about the Dance Ministry in my church - we are called the Tribe of Judah. Our church had a Praise Bowl this week - a Praise Bowl as we define it is thanking God for all He has done in 2007 and claiming the things He will do for us in 2008. Our dance ministry danced along with 4 choirs, a puppet show and 2 other dance ministries. The highlight of the evening was another praise group called the Circle of Love. They are a dance ministry with the youngest member being 54 years old! The ages range from 54 (and she is the director of the group) to 96!!!!!! Whenever our dance ministry has practice and a member complains about not being able to do a move or something being too hard, we say to them, "96!"

You are never too old to praise the Lord!

Christmas Concert and Celebration

On Friday night, our church had its Christmas concert and celebration. It is just singing and dance and playing instruments to praise the Lord! This is the first year we have done it on a Friday night; we usually have it on a Sunday which makes services run to almost 4pm, with dinner and everything. I am the director/choreographer of our dance ministry and we practice diligently every Thursday night. Even though our main goal is to prepare dances that will allow others to see the glory of God through us, there is an added bonus: the camaraderie of my fellow dancers. We support each other, pray for each other, laugh with and at times at each other (especially when trying to learn a new dance!) We have 10 member ranging in age from 7 to 54. I am so blessed to have been called to be a part of this group - and we looked fabulous Friday Night!
