Dogwood Tabernacle ~ Seymour, MO
We are excited to have another Labor Day Dance Weekend!
This is a great time for beginners to learn worship dance, as well as for intermediate/advance dancers to learn the dances we will worship to during Sukkot - Feast of the Nations 2018.
If you would like to play in the band during Sukkot - Feast of the Nations 2017, this is a great weekend to join us, since Dan will work with musicians and singers to practice the music for the Feast's congregational worship.
Whether you are a musician, dancer or you just enjoy praise & worship, this is a great opportunity for you. If you are not coming to celebrate Sukkot with us, you are of course welcome to join the dance weekend to learn many dances and enjoy great fellowship.
Please register with us if you are planning on coming so we can have a head count and prepare the correct amount of food for the meals. Thank you!
