Dance and Evensong

Nothing scheduled yet for December or January. :(  We need a location where we can do this on a regular basis.  If you know of one, please contact me.

Let me introduce you to Dance and Evensong.  It’s designed to provide a new opportunity for dance for Christian young people, while at the same time be an outreach to believers and barely-believers.  The basic idea is that on a Sunday evening we will have a dance (this will hopefully attract a good number of young people), then pizza (who doesn’t like that?), and then a special service called Evensong.  Evensong is an Anglican service sometimes called it’s crown jewel.  It’s beautiful, not too long, and the liturgy and prayers are all biblically-focused.  I’ve already been practicing with a small choir to help lead in singing.

Location: Dallas International University/International Liguistics Center

Addr: 7500 W Camp Wisdom Road, Dallas (See parking instructions below) 

Date: Sunday, Nov 6

Times:

• 5:00pm - 6:30: Dance
• 6:30 - 7:00: Pizza & dance
• 7:30 – 7:45: Evensong
• 7:45 - 8:00: Reset room. 

Cost: Free.  If you can spring $5/person for pizza, it would be helpful, but not required.  Come if you’re poor; pay if you’re rich.

Dance Attendees: The dancing is focused for junior high, high school, and college.  Each should dance with their age-appropriate partner.  No dates required; I will match up those who come as singles (which I hope will be a considerable number).

Evensong attendees:  All ages.  Families come with all children; everyone needs to hear the gospel.  Adults please join in.

Masks: None required.

Parking instructions:

1. Turn in from Camp Wisdom Rd.
2. Quickly in front of you will be a building.  Turn right.
3. Follow the road as it winds around past an open gate to the back of the building.  You should see a large parking lot.
4. Turn right into the parking lot and drive straight to the back toward the Event Center building
5. Park near Event Center.
6. You should see a series of wide steps that lead down to the Event Center.
7. Enter it.

Dances will be the normal ones we do: Swing, Tango, Foxtrot, Waltz, and English Country.  Yes, “Strip the Willow” should make it’s normal appearance!

Right now we only have one meeting at DIU/ILC scheduled.  If it turns out well, we might be able to schedule more.

Invite as many friends as you think are interested.  A big idea for DAE is to attract unbelievers and barely-believers so they can hear the gospel.  It will not be high-intensity manipulation, just a simple exposition of Scripture and a gospel presentation of what Christ has promised to all who believe on Him.
