    Were meant to worship...

    There are two parts to an offering. The first is the giving, and the second is the receiving. We cannot say to God when He should receive his offering. When you planned and rehearsed your songlist--that may have been the time that the offering from you was received, and you may not have...

    Communion

    Being in a liturgical church, my opinion may be a departure from some others here. Communion is THE culmination of every service. In it, we remember Him, we fellowship with Him, we receive healing from Him, and his very being becomes a part of our own in both a tangible and a mystical way...

    Prophetic Music of the Temple/Tabernacle

    Some of the most enduring worship songs I have written have come out of those times of prophetic worship, where there is ebb and flow of prophecy, song, and intercession. Often, the seed of them is a repeated phrase that is built upon prophetically and then becomes the main theme of the new...

    Flag Worshippers United!!

    I was able to dance with the white wing flags this past Sunday--the music team was playing "You are near" a song that has an exaltation bridge that proclaims "Blessing and honor and glory and power forever, forever....." , a wonderful place for the imagery of myriads of angels whirling in joyous...

    Flag Worshippers United!!

    I like to dance with flags, and have made flags that were not just colors, but are some kind of symbol....like my fire flag and "wings" flags---my two favorites to dance with. Pics here:http://zionfirefriends.com/index.php?showtopic=290 I am in a charismatic liturgical church, and the...

    Do I really need to be trained in it?

    I think that what dancin' dude was suggesting was to put together a workshop and invite a qualified person to teach, and learn along with everyone else. While that may give you a start, if you really believe dance and flag ministry is your "calling", you will make the effort to get some...

    Getting old but want to learn to dance...

    I think a good philosophy is that you are never too old. Just move whatever still moves. :clap:

    Getting old but want to learn to dance...

    I started ballet classes when I was 38. Too late to become world class, but in plenty of time to develope grace and poise and a dance vocabulary that I now incorporate with interpretive worship dance and davidic style dancing. Many of the hebrew dance steps used in the davidic dance style are...

    What kind of dress is appropriate in Dance Ministry?

    You might try a dance sandal. It is almost invisible on the top of the foot but it provides a leather pad for you to turn on that protects the bottom of your feet. Here are some different styles you can get at Dance Distributors...

    What kind of dress is appropriate in Dance Ministry?

    Personally, I prefer a flesh-toned leather ballet slipper, so it appears as if you may be barefoot. It protects your feet from damage, and it also is socially kind not to be wiping your body oils on the carpeting, etc., like you would be doing by dancing bare footed. Socks alone are dangerous...

    What kind of dress is appropriate in Dance Ministry?

    I can't remember if it's been mentioned in this thread yet or not.....but wearing makeup is important. Your face is one of the most powerful ways you communicate in dance ministry, so appropriate makeup makes that communication more effective since your features will be defined and easier to...

    Messianic Dance

    Tishri - really good advice to trained dancers! I don't understand why people get the idea that if you are trained in something that it is "fleshly" to use your training to magnify the Lord. The scriptures never condemn anyone for being skilled, in fact David appointed those who would search...

    Bannering or flag ministry

    Hi Hevron, and welcome! There seems to be a little band of flaggers and banner makers/users the stop in here. Glad you have joined the bunch!

    New interest in worship dance, or whatever you want to call it

    When you are dancing privately before the Lord, your communication is a personal one between you and Him, and needs no particular kinetic language skill, but since you are considering using dance for public ministry, let me suggest a few things. First, if you are dancing in front of a...
