It was that "stick ministry" . . . not really dancing. I like the sign language style better than the sticks. I've watched it twice, and other than what I assume to be a cross, the rest looks like a bunch of people waving sticks around. No real point to it.

I think the dancing being referenced is in the forefront of the stick people.

Ah . . . didn't really notice it. Too busy trying to figure out what in the world they were trying to do with the sticks.

that is funny....
and DOES NOT offer a lot of support for sticks-n-stuff.

Until that little Miss Bratti person comes into the conversation and sets us all straight

, I think the sticks offer the basis for amplifying the synchronism of the presentation with some opportunity for iconic representation. Primary target audience;those who are without the body.

Basically, if our young people enjoy doing it, and it prompts them to commit to practices and youth gatherings, it will have its run through our ranks.

The expressive sign has had its own share of polarizing effect on the unfamiliar audiences who find themselves in the midst of a good show at around 10:25am on Sunday morning.

Things that are co-dependant on an audience are not something I would promote but if your target audience is out on the streets, hey, go for it.

I couldn't understand the words either, but I knew the song by the music. If you want to understand what they were dancing to watch this one.

That was definitely strange with the sticks... The only songs our drama team ever used sticks for was on a song where they wanted something to raise above their heads to represent the cross. There was no question what the purpose of the sticks was.

Not to take this off subject, but the stick stuff is really hit and miss with me . . . some songs are great with sticks and you can see some kind of meaning behind the actions.

Others . . . well, sometimes (as in this video) it looks like they're all just trying to compete for "Best Air Drum Solo," and there's no real point to the madness.

Not all of the ones participating are just participating for show.

It was participating in a sign team that led my daughter to master the use of ASL in less than three months-- and to be able to do intrepretation of the sermons for the deaf.

I like this video! You want a workout . . . do this! LoL A while back I had a team do this song - almost exactly like this, except with the key changes they would step and spin instead of just moving a couple steps to the side.

I love it when people get into worship and the movement like this group did. This was awesome!
