We had an awesome returning rehearsal with the CYT Dance Ministry this past week. The youth and teens came ready to learn as we began our newest piece "Sweet In The Morning". I look forward to seeing everyone again this evening. Children, Youth, Teens and Adults, this is also a reminder that next week is our back to dance dinner at Anita's Kitchen. So far I have only heard from two of the adult members. I hope to see most, if not all of us there.
Don't forget to follow the blog by email or RSS feed. I will be sending out an email with this information as well.
Please note on the side bar the calendar for the month of January. February's Calendar will be up on the last Monday of the month. This is, of course, a living document and will be changing as the year progresses.
I wanted to share this video with each of you - this is my favorite Psalm and I have several versions of it. Bobby's reminds me of contemporary Gregorian Chant.

A Wonderful Experience
On Saturday, September 24, 2011, 8 members of the Dance Ministries worked with the Trustees Ministry to host the monthly birthday party for the children at Interim House - the joyful Project Cotton Candy.
What a rewarding and enriching experience. We all left from the church in good spirits, a little unsure about what to expect, but ready for anything. We arrived a little late (5 minutes), but everyone jumped right in, unloading the supplies and prepping the activities and food. There were only a couple of little faces waiting when we first came through the doors, but then "the announcement" was made and children came from everywhere! There were crafts and games and toys and bingo. Shouts of "Bingo", "Pass the glue", "I can't get that funny bone", "How do you play this game?" "Where's the cotton candy?" ringing throughout. I don't think it got quieter when it was time to eat, I believe the talking and laughing just moved into another space as hot dogs, chips and drinks were distributed by the Kitchen Team (great job, ladies and gentlemen). One of our dance members, I won't mention any names (Sis Yolanda), was such a blessing to a little one, she wanted to go with us as we were saying our goodbyes.
Two short hours and it was all over, but we left full of the Spirit and the Joy of Giving Gracefully. Several of the September 24th group have made arrangements to return to Interim House and continue to share the love in various ways.
Thank you, NPMBC, for bringing this wonderous event into our lives.

Praises to the Adult Dance Ministry
Congratulations to the Adult Dance Ministry Sisters on a wonderful presentation today at the 7:30am and 11:00am Women's Day Services. You came together as one and let GOD have His way with you!
A special shout out to our newest presenting members - Ernestine, Betty, Debra, Elizabeth, Brittany and Tiffani! Great job, ladies!
Thank you, Sharon, Tyra and Julie H. - your assistance in rehearsals was un-endingly (is that a word?) appreciated!
Thank you, Barbara - for extending your home for extra rehearsals.
Thank you, Yolanda and Liz - for getting me to and from rehearsals.
Thank you, Adult Dance Sisters - you are all the "wind beneath my wings"! Thank you for the surprise, the extra surprise and for just being!
After much arm twisting and emotional bribery (lol), I have agreed to a TWO-WEEK BREAK for the Adult Dance Ministry. We will resume rehearsals on Monday, October 10, 2011 at 6:45pm.
Enjoy your time off - watch the blog for updates - see you soon!
