Speakers, Craig Family – Worship: Thru Music               
This type of worship is well-known to all of us: the use of various types of instruments, clapping, songs, dancing, prophetic songs and more. Share with others the musical gifts that you have been given by the ALMIGHTY.  Bring your instrument,  song, a  dance,  rap, whatever talent you have and teach the group a song, dance or even have them listen to what has been given you from heaven. You become the leader of worship, encouraging others to worship with you to invite the HOLY SPIRIT to come into our midst and move among us to change and save as we build a throne for HIM  to take HIS place and inhabit the praises of HIS people.

BMC E_dancers2Davidic Dance (archad – Hebrew for dance – to leap and skip with great jubilation) is a quick, lively and joyous way of praising, and giving thanksgiving to YAHWEH GOD. Davidic Dancing is sometimes modeled after the hoar, a circular Israeli folk dance. Other times it is the creative dance steps of Messianic Believers incorporating the hoar, jumps, leaps, twirls, claps and other movements. Davidic dance can be performed by all ages; males and females. (www.britannica.com, www.hinenimessiah.com/ Dance.html) .
Speaker, Iris Woodridge – Worship: Can a heathen worship the MOST HIGH GOD?   
For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves… Romans 2:14 What does this mean? What does the word worship mean as it relates to this scripture? Did these people worship the ALMIGHTY? Speaker Iris Woodridge will discuss this subject from her life experience that fit so well with this scripture. At the end of this  workshop  ask yourself the  question, what is my daily walk with the ALMIGHTY GOD like and what makes me different from a heathen?
