Good Morning!
Immediate Topic - Adult Dance Rehearsal Cancelled for Monday, April 9, 2012. Children, Youth and Teens will meet this evening as usual 5:30pm - 6:40pm. We are preparing for 5th Sunday of this month, so please make every effort to attend rehearsal.
Shout Out to Tyra, Sharon and Julie H. for an anointed presentation at the 11:00am Easter Celebration Service. I received a text from Pastor J, simply saying "Absolutely Wonderful!!". I can't wait to go back to the LiveStream, so that I can enjoy the presentation as well. Thank you to Yolanda her background support, Lolita, Pauline, Sophie and the Teens who were there to calm us before and after the presentation.
Check out this awesome Christian poetry performance - you have to really listen to these two. Afterward, check out Janette...ikz on YouTube. She delivers a powerful message through her spoken word.
Have a great week! I will see you all next week!

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!

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!

The CYT Dance Ministry is currently working on a series of pieces (a ballet) for presentation on the second Sunday in March. If the piece is completed, it may be presented for Black History Month at the end of February. The piece is based on this Yoruba song "Ise Oluwa". I heard and fell in love with this music when I was younger and watching the epic mini-series "Roots". We will be using the following version, as well as the version by Sweet Honey In The Rock, as well as additional pieces of music, to round out our ballet. Below is the basis of the song and a video that features the beautiful voice of Letta Mbulu, who sang the "Roots' version of the song. Believe and enjoy!
Ise oluwa, kole bajey o.
That which the creator made
can never be destroyed.
can never be destroyed.

An Evening Family Prayer
Lord, behold our family here assembled.
We thank you for this place in which we dwell,
for the love that unites us,

for the health, the work, the food and the bright skies
that make our lives delightful;
for our friends in all parts of the earth. Amen.
