Awesomeness! :D

Hello again dear readers of the fireBRANDS blog :)
Here is an update of what happened at youth last week.

As usual pre-service started with prayers.

Prayer points: -Those taking exams or going to (SPM, STPM)

- The worship team

- The speaker for that night

And then something new. No toilet breaks. Yes people toilets are a thing of the past (haha kidding). So if you got to go unfortunately you got to hold it in.

Next was ICE-BREAKER! Woohoo!

Its boys VS girls. Aim of the game, stare at the opposing team and whoever laughs first loses . Winner stays unless its a draw. P.S you can make the other person laugh as long as you don't :)

First up brother vs sister.

And girls got first blood

Onwards to the next match.

As you can see by the pictures, this one went on for quite a while and

due to its length, it ended with a draw.

Next was Ben and Shiau Ting.

Shiau Ting won and Ben wanted a rematch.

And then it was Shaun's turn.

And I think we all know who won this one. ;)

And the next two matches were won by the boys.
Thanks to Nehemiah.

And it doesn't stop there. Next was Pastor Victor and Joyce.

Even though Joyce was smiling (but she wasn't laughing) she won the match.

After that, it was Eulene against Gary.

And Gary has a few tricks up his sleeves

And it worked!

And for the final match it was a double duel.

The boys won the first half. Now it was time for the second.

And it was very interesting.

Even though Sasi had tricks up his sleeves it was not helping him out.
So this match ended with a draw.

After the ice-breaker it was time for worship.

Then onwards towards the sermon and that night we had a special speaker.

Julian! :D

Julian is involved in Project Dance. Project Dance is a movement of dancers seeking to positively impact culture through artistic integrity.

He shared about how dancing can be a form of worship. There are two categories of dance. One is dance for participation and the other dance for presentation.

Dancing for participation:

- called social dance

-does not need spectators

-includes forms of religious dancing, work dances, recreational, and social dancing

Dancing for presentation:

-needs an audience

-preformed in theaters, royal courts, and temples

-requires specialized training and can be difficult to master

So if a church should start a dancing group, it should be based on dancing for participation

Can anybody dance??

Yes anybody can. No matter how young or old they are, or how physically fit. People in wheelchairs can spin and move in the time of music, while those who are immobile can move their hands or heads. Even deaf people can dance by feeling the vibrations of music and respond.

Well that is all for todays post. See you all next time :)
