The Moving Word
Liturgical Dance and Biblical Interpretation
A Blending of Fomative and Expressive Worship
Why This Kind of Workshop?
We believe that worship is both formative and expressive; Furthermore, we believe that worship is enhanced through the creative arts and that, as we grow in our knowledge of the Word, our knowledge of the Word will move us and shape our expressions of worship. There are many creative arts used in the church to enhance the worship experience ... Dance, Music, Poerty, Drama, Artist Crafts, and more. Our workshops will use the creative arts - especailly dance, music, and artistic crafts - to enhance our understanding of the Word. ... Think of this as a kind of an interactive Bible study.
Who Can Attend These Workshops?
Interpreting Scripture through movement can be done by anyone, at any age. However, these sessions are only for women aged sixteen and over. Experince with dance is not required and we are willing to work with any level of physical ability. If you are a woman over the age of 15 and you are willing to explore how to move to the Word, you are welcome to join us!
When and Where?
Sessions are offered four times a year at Angel Community Church located at 446 Ada Street in Muskegon, Michigan... join us for one or for all our sessions.
