Every week, the\u00a0 students work on singing, drama and dancing. Once a month, they work on\u00a0 an art project. The classes are held from 3:15 to 4:30 p.m. each Thursday.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;We begin with dance because the kids have so much energy after school,&#8221;\u00a0 she says. &#8220;They got real excited about the dance.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>The program began November 3 and the students&#8217; work has focused on\u00a0 participating in a church Christmas production. In addition to singing\u00a0 songs with dances and performing drama, the children&#8217;s art project\u00a0 involved working on the production set, Carr says. The students also\u00a0 will perform a spring musical.<\/div>\n<div>The kids develop skills in the arts, but the classes are important in\u00a0 other ways, Carr says. &#8220;Because they&#8217;re focusing on things in worship,\u00a0 it connects their spiritual lives with things they can do,&#8221; she\u00a0 explains. &#8220;We discuss everything and how it relates to church and God.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>Carr says she hopes the children&#8217;s work will be incorporated into\u00a0 various worship services throughout the year. She also would like to see\u00a0 the children have the opportunity to demonstrate their work in other\u00a0 area churches.<\/div>\n<div>A handful of kids are participating, but Carr expects the number to grow\u00a0 now that people have seen the students&#8217; participation in the Christmas\u00a0 program. She adds that starting out small has helped her to develop the\u00a0 classes.<\/div>\n<div>The arts camp was held in August and included children ages 9-13. The\u00a0 students were able to choose two of five options for the week-long,\u00a0 half-day camp, says Carr. Each day was divided into two sessions.<\/div>\n<div>Participants could choose from sculpture or drama in the early session.\u00a0 The second session offered video, music or drawing. The projects were\u00a0 then included in a worship service.<\/div>\n<div>To learn more about this unique ministry opportunity, call the church\u00a0 staff at 616-642-6322.
