Youth Find Their Form of Worship in the Cayman Islands
Recently the Christian Youth of the Cayman Islands gathered together to Worship the Lord in the best way they knew how. There was definitely Worship music present, but the music was playing support act for the vibrant and Worshipful dancing on center stage."The first group to perform was a worship dance group from the New Testament Church of God, called ‘Expressions of Praise’. Using dance, they interpreted the gospel song, ‘Always.’ Seventeen-year old group leader, Kimone Fraser, explained why she felt it was a good idea to form a dance group for worship: 'In church everyone is trying to find a role to play.'
'Not everyone can sing; I realized that my form of worship is dance,' she said. 'We chose the song ‘Always,’ to dance to because it is like you are making a promise to God. ‘Always’ means that no matter what we are going through or what He is bringing us through He is our everything, and we’ll spend our ‘always’ with Him,' she said.
Next came the worship dance group from Elmslie Memorial United Church, who danced using brightly coloured scarves as streamers as they interpreted the song, ‘I can only imagine.’ Dance group leader, Lyn Ramoon, said: 'We use the scarves as a way of being led by the Holy Spirit in interpreting the words and music of the song. The different colours express the beauty of God shining in and through us.' Explaining why dance was such an important aspect of worship, she added: 'Psalm 150 is the main scripture that tells us to praise God through dance. I believe that dance was created by and for God. We want to be able to thank God for all He has done for us." The Cayman Net News
Its refreshing to see people so abandoned in thier Worship, using thier whole being to glorify the Lord who obviously means so much to them. Its interesting to juxtapose this vibrant Worship service with those found in most Church's across the U.S. How many concerts/services have you been to where people were so into what they were singing that they couldn't sit still? It defenitely happens but I would stick my neck out and say its not common. Why not? Why have we become so rigid in Worship?"
