“Mary led a wonderful workshop. The children loved it and were fully engaged in all aspects of it. The session was really well organised and included a great variety of activities which enabled children to connect with and express their love for God through movement, dance, discussion, craft and creative prayer.

Mary also joined us for our Sunday service which gave the children the opportunity to lead the congregation in worship through a dance they had learned at the workshop. It was great to see the joy on people's faces as they watched and participated in this.”

‘If you are not a dancer or if you’re a bit embarrassed or inhibited at moving during worship then I would thoroughly recommend this workshop. I loved it!

I was a bit nervous before the workshop. I’m in my 50s and not a dancer, but I had met Mary and could see how full of Jesus she was.

When we did flocking I loved how we could feel each other’s worship. When we danced the role of the Holy Spirit for our partners I felt something shift. The realisation that all that hard hard time the Holy Spirit was protecting and trying to love and guide me.’
