Dance Ministry
Liturgical Dance Team
One of Oakland's newest ministries is the
Liturgical Dance Team. The OUMC team was formed after being
inspired by another local dance group called "Tapestry of Praise".
The Dance Team, led by Darlene Bain, perform at worship services
throughout the year and add to the movement of the Holy Spirit during
the services. This important part of worship has been well
received by those attending OUMC and have since inspired a new group to
be formed called "Little Praise Dancers". If you are interested in being considered
for the Liturgical Dance Team, please contact the church office at
269-3678
or email
oumc@atlanticbb.net.
Little Praise Dancers
The Little Praise Dancers perform on special occasions under the
direction of Donna Cartwright. They dance in costume and have a
great time moving around to the music chosen. Practice will be
held on Tuesdays from 6:30 to 7:30 and is open to children from 3 years
to 8th grade. Children will dance in church on the 4th Sunday of each
month starting in October (with some exceptions for holidays). The
dancers will alternate between 1st and 2nd service from month to month.
(Children's choir will sing in the opposite service each month.). If you have
children who love to dance and would enjoy being a part of the
"Little Praise Dancers", please contact Donna
Cartwright at 255-2711 or email
donna.cartwright2@verizon.net
or call Joy at 269-3678 or
oaklandkids@atlanticbb.net.
