March 27, 2012

Wow, it's seems like forever since I posted last on March 4, 2012. I definitely have to catch up. Here's the highlights of what's been happening:

1) Children and Youth Dance Ministries presented "Ise Oluwa" on the 2nd Sunday of March at the 11:00am service. It was wonderful to see the children and their presentation was well received! (Check out the Photo Gallery page to see some pre-presentation pics of the dancers)

2) March 19th was our Second Dinner with the Dance Ministry. We dined at the "not-so-new-anymore" 1917 American Bistro, just down Livernois from NPMBC. Five of our CYT members and eleven of our Adult members gathered for an evening of fun, laughs and good food! (Photos have been added to the Gallery page)

3) Check the calendar on the left side of the screen for the April calendar!

4) The CYT and Adult Dance Ministries have been invited back to the Detroit Public Schools 2nd Annual Sacred Dance Concert, May 5, 2012 at the Detroit School of Arts (DSA). Stay tuned for more details as they are available.

5) Check out the new Dance Ministry WhatNots page! The first post is a yummy recipe for Cauliflower Crust Pizza!

6) Lyrics have been posted for "Move" the CYT's current HipHop Praise piece! See the lyrics on the 'Get The Lyrics' page!

Okay, so that is what's happening. Remember, no practice, Monday, April 2, 2012 and come support the CYT ministry on the 5th Sunday of April!

Sunday, March 4, 2012

Happy Sunday Everyone!! Blessed Son's Day!!

Here's what happening Monday night -
Children, Youth and Teens Rehearsal from 5:30pm to 7:00pm. I plan for the CYT Dance Ministry to present on Second Sunday this month, so come prepared to review, review, review!! I will be bringing some costume pieces some of the children to try on. White dresses are the uniform for Sunday. We will be presenting the "Amen/Ise Oluwa" Mini Ballet for second Sunday. "Move" will not be presented until the 5th Sunday in April.

Adults will meet from 7:00pm to 8:00pm. I should have music CD's available with the semester's music. I have been given a new idea, so be prepared to finish "I've Been Changed" in this rehearsal.

Please the new calendar is up for March (look on the left side of the page ^_^)

I have tentatively set March 19, 2012 (that's Monday night, y'all) for our next Dinner with the Dance Ministry. It will be at the 1917 American Bistro on Livernois at Outer Drive. (Yes, I heard what you all said about frequenting Detroit establishments). The link for the menu is here  http://www.1917americanbistro.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=362&Itemid=68  I've been to this restaurant several times in the past and have enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. We will gather at 6:15pm, so please join us. Casual attire is just fine. I do need to know how many people plan on attending, so please comment your plans here!! I would also love for the children, youth and teens to join us (they can sit at their own table if there are enough of them). There is a lovely burger selection on the menu.

Okay, that's it for this week. See you Monday!
