One praise

The working name is One Praise, with the long-term vision of bringing Christians from different churches together through worship, music, and dance. The eventual dream could be to develop Christian dance camps and a simple worship song/choreography that could spread beyond individual churches—even potentially becoming a recognizable worldwide flash-mob-style expression of praise.

For now, though, I’m thinking much smaller: starting with a local youth worship event featuring worship teams from different churches. Rather than making it a competition, I want the emphasis to be on encouraging one another, with things like creativity, cohesiveness, and audience participation celebrated through encouraging awards. One idea I especially like is giving the audience two minutes after each team performs to send encouraging comments that appear on a screen.

Eventually, I’d love for all the teams to come together for one final song and shared choreography. That could become the foundation for the larger vision.

Debating on starting with a specific age group or opening it now to the full age range.
