Note: Intended for people who have a know-how on worship dancing / expression dancing / interpretive dancing\n\nI am on the lookout for good worship dance costume patterns. I had searched different websites but found the costumes quite typical and very traditional in style. I would want something that is graceful, modest but quite modern in style. Any website I can visit and have a look?...Also, if you know of where I can download a costume pattern for worship dancing, that'll be great!

I lead a praise dance ministry and we bought some Gauchos from Target in white and black.  They are modest and contemporary looking.

The custom you described sounds a lot like the old shamanistic Wicca ritual to protect a dwelling, often carried over to Christian culture without the participants knowledge of why they were doing what they were doing, just done because it was always done; or lost origins to time. I of course mean no disrespect to your Oma, and I personally find it charming that She loved you so. Thank you for sharing this interesting finding.

Unless you want to go w/a St. Patties Day theme, you would probably do best w/ a dusty rose or some other color.  W/ the sage green in might be cool to go w/ a bold color, like royal blue or purple.  Congrats!

Doesn't matter what church it is.  You're entering the house of God, so it would be nice of you to wear something respectful.  Also, you should ask yourself, for whom are you wearing these boots over pants' legs, for people or God?

lol thank you! =]\n\nand well at first we just had to sing the song- not a problem.\nBut THEN we had to do a dance to it while singing. And this dance happened to be choreographed by one of the students, and the chorus teacher- an absolute NIGHTMARE. As a dancer in profession, looking back now, its so horrific, lol.\nThen whenever we practiced the song, for some reason we never practiced to Mary Mary's version, we always practiced to the song being played on the piano. Which happens to sound SO depressing it could make anyone want to go crawl into a corner and die, haha. It seriously sounded like something to be played at a funeral! So when we finally performed this song at the concert, the music was played very quietly, and we were all so embarassed, we all sounded pretty monotone and zombie-like, hahaha.\nEpilogue- This chorus teacher, rumour says, decided to shave her head and live in a monastary. (which isn't true, but it is something she would do :P)\n\nAnd that is my story! :D

Wear it on your sleeve (Christian sayings t-shirts).  Wear a cross around your neck (my husband wears a cross), put one on your keys (I do this), go to a Christian club (I went to Campus Christians), etc.  Some people pass out Salvation tracks.  This is kind of annoying, though.  I do for Halloween trick-or-treaters, but not the general public.  Pray at meal time.  That always looks good!  When people tell me their problems, I say that I'll pray for them, & I do!  I am smart enough to know that studying is not enough!  I pray when I study & when about to take a test.  If I drove a car back then, I would have offered to be the designated driver.  I went out with the party kids, but I never did drink or smoke.  I really stand out, even at church.  If something is going on that I know is clearly Biblically wrong, I refuse to participate, & the others notice!  One cannot just assume that if something happens at church that it is ok.  I have pretty stong convictions!  I am not easily swayed by the crowd.  If you do any charity work, mention it.  Like, I made over 70 lap quilts & gave them out to the elderly in nursing homes.  Surely you've also done something to help out a charity or two in your life.  It doesn't have to be a Christian charity, either!  Like, I donated my hair twice so far for Locks of Love.

Go to Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc.  I was just in Hobby Lobby the other day trying to get ideas and they had some very nice ones that were already made, you just had to print the info on it.  Or go to Office Max and find some nice paper that would be appropriate for the occasion (maybe even find something with her colors so it seems even more personalized, even if you didn't have to put much time or effort into it)!  As far as the attire goes....just put something on the bottom of the invite that says "Casual attire is recommended."  When it comes down to it, people will not even care how they look...as long as all of the info is there, it should suit you fine!

Check out your local small business administration (or go online to the small business administration) as far as getting metaphysical (witchcraft) related items look to Azure Green they have a wholesale catalog, for statuary check out Sacred Source online they also offer wholesale pricing. You might also might want to check out your local pagan community for crafters so that you can get some handmade items to sell. Good luck!! Blessings

Too many stories like this----------one of the reasons I left Christianity for another religion.\n\nAnother story--\n\nA couple (unmarried) moved to the fairly small town where my parents lived.  They went to church and quickly tried to become active in it.   My mother proudly told me that the minister (Methodist Church) told them they were not allowed to come to their church anymore as they were living in sin.  If they wanted to be members they must marry first.  They married and became active in the church.  I'd have told them where to go and found another church.\n\nSame church-------several Black women started to come to the church.  This town had only recently ''allowed'' Blacks to move into town------yeah!  In 2004 it was.  My mother's friends commented, ''It's alright.  They sit in the back by themselves, and don't bother anyone''.\n\nThis is the same Methodist Church that has ads on TV saying they are the church of diversity and open doors to all?

Cajirenee what was the point of your answer? If you don't like the question don't answer it then. What are you begging for 2 measly points? How about try getting a few "best answers" since I see you have NONE. The question seems to be very detailed in explaining she wasn't sure where to post it, and what she was looking for. She wasn't obscene or perverted in her question. I don't see what your problem is. What happened to trying to have an open mind?\n\nAnd in response to the question. I know of a few places to check, but nothing in white. Hot topic around Halloween time has some cool PVC and vinyl wear. But nothing appropriate for a wedding, and of coarse that's months and months away. I would check some of the major adult stores. Try places like NY and CA, they seem to be good places that produce adult apparel. Maybe even a place that sells "dancer" apparel. I don't know I am sure this doesn't help much. One of the above answers has a website XTC wear or something. That seems to be the most helpful I have seen on this list of answers. Best of luck, GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR WEDDING!

My husband and I renewed our vows at our church, as we were originally married at the court house 5 yrs before and we too could not dance. Unfortunately that seems to be the norm for that.  All we could do was fellowship basically. You can always dance when you get home :-) Congrats on your upcoming nuptials

I think it is a good idea to avoid lust and there is nothing primitive about wearing the clothes you want to wear. Some people are ignorant and don't understand or refuse to understand people's beliefs. \n\nAs far as the getting attention thing goes here is my theory:\nDo what you think is right, but don't rub it in people's faces. Doing so makes it seem that you are doing something strictly for attention.

Hey Cindy,\nI was also looking for Christian Graduation Songs and I ended up at christianbooks.com  They have a great mixed CD with songs that are appropriate for graduation and church.  \nJust go the the website christianbooks.com and type in graduation in their search box.  There are pages of stuff that will come up, but the CD is on there somewhere. \nAs far as design, try power point...you can make the pictures do all sorts of things and even put music to it.  \nHope this helps,\nGrad of 06
