Vision- Through liturgical dance, the ministry will be able:
· To minister to God’s people through the service of liturgical dance.
· To help plant the seed of faith, nurture and strengthen the Body of Christ.
· To encourage praise and worship in and beyond the House of the Lord.
St. Joseph’s Liturgical Dance Ministry is called to be Holy, Blessed, Spirit filled ministers of liturgical dance. Our mission is to live, praise and worship, witness in the Word. We are deliberate disciples for Christ, putting on our war clothes and fighting against attacks against God’s people. We live to Spread the “Good News” of the Gospel of the Lord.
St. Joseph’s Liturgical Dance Ministry is open to all members of St. Joseph’s Church who love Christ, who want to spread the Word, are coordinated (or at least have the great desire to learn); have a sense of rhythm and most importantly, who know that they are called and committed to serving Jesus through liturgical dance. “Let them praise His name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.” (Ps 149:3)
Children of Virtue
Children ages eight to seventeen, who wish to become liturgical dance ministers, embrace God’s word and show the beauty of His love through their innocence. The children will learn not only choreography, but will learn how to deepen their faith and how to become leaders in the faith. “Lo, children are the heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is His reward.” (Ps. 127:3)
Children of Virtue- The People of Praise
Adults who wish to become liturgical dance ministers who embody the love for God and faith in His holy word. The adults will learn not only choreography, but will learn how to deepen their faith and how to become leaders in the faith.
The Dance Ministry will ministry every 1st Sunday at the 11:00 Mass and every 3rd Sunday at the 8:30 Mass during the Meditation. Rehearsals are Thursday, 7:00-8:00 pm, and Saturday, 12:00-2:00 pm
