Drumming and Spirituality Service and Workshop   [ 2009-01-31 ]

Next Sunday, February 8, our worship service will be led by percussionist Matt Meyer, who will also lead a drumming and spirituality workshop for all ages following the service. This service will offer a dynamic and varied experience of rhythm's enduring power to teach us about ourselves and each other. When the congregation is wrapped up in the sounds of the drum, fully absorbed in the readings or moved to their feet by inspired group rhythm-making, there is a magic that happens... community is cultivated.

Matt's workshops allow the participants to feel the congregation as a community of music makers, working, playing, and tapping into something that truly brings a feeling of wholeness to those gathered in this spirit of profound worship.

Please note: The older church school classes (Inquirers, Venturers & Seers/3rd - 6th grade) will be staying in the sanctuary for the service. The two Spirit Play Groups will have a regular classes, as will the nurseries.

Matt Meyer will also hold a drumming and spirituality workshop for all ages following the service. The workshop will be an opportunity for people of all skill levels to discover the spirituality that rhythm has to offer through hands-on experience with drumming. The event will include games, exercises, stories and discussions that allow participants to experience drumming‚s power to bring people together and build community. Please RSVP to the for this workshop so that Matt can plan for instruments. The church will happily provide childcare during the workshop if you let us know you need it by Friday, January 30.
