What would you learn from going to church 46 days in a row? See what this Briton learned here.
Westminster's Drum Circle Ministry is going strong! We shared our gifts and led in worship April 26th. Here is the group getting ready for worship with some young fans coming to give their support. We continue to learn so much as a group - both about drumming and about each other. In particular, our teacher encourages us to let the drums speak for us, especially when we improvise.
At first, I didn't really know what I wanted the drums to say because I didn't really know what I wanted to say. Let the drums speak for me? It took me a while to find my voice. Yes, a pastor who talks for a living had to find her voice. As we all find our own voices, we are able to share them with each other and the congregation. Our drum circle from the beginning has been about sharing our stories and exploring our diverse backgrounds. I thought we would only do this with words. But, it turns out we can speak through the drums, too. |
