God has blessed our church!

[Jon Alfaro]

great report.

Hey I know that church. I won several people to Jesus who go there.
I used to pastor and independent work that was a daughter work to
Victory Lighthouse. Sister Donna, Terry, April etc are all people I baptized.
My niece Oliva goes there. If you saw the little redheaded girl that was
with her for the Youth Rally then you saw my daughter Ashleigh.
Great to meet you and glad you are posting here Brother.

We do the same when singing with our hands.

To say we are cherographed dancing because are hands sing at the same time, is like saying our vocalist chorograph dance if they worship while harmonizing.

Not really. Your vocalists are "choreographed" in that they harmonize. Really, they're "choreographed" or "scripted" if they simply sing the words to the song as published on the sheet music or whatever.

If they made up words on the fly, or if the "sang in tongues" then that would be "unchoreographed" and "unscripted."

To move or follow a predetermined path - like in sign language, dowel stick, or any scripted liturgy as most of our churches do with their projected lyrics or even old fashioned song books is all akin to "choreography." And there's nothing wrong with that.

Just reading from the Bible is a "scripted" liturgy in a sense.

Were not victory lighthouse, that's sis Randall! We are First UPC of Abbeville. Former pastor was Paul Pruitt, my dad is now the pastor as of 2&1/2 years ago.

Are you talking about Olivia Anderson? If so then yes she comes to our church, she is a great girl!
