NOTTINGHAM NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH OF GOD
​

On behalf of the NTCG (New Testament Church of God) Nottingham Liturgical Dance Ministry, I extend warm greetings to you.

​

It was in 2012 when I first met Dawn Benjamin - NLDNUK Director, who helped me to understand – and respond to, what I now know as ‘the calling’ which I had been placed in my heart for quite some time.  

​

Each team member has a story to tell about their journey so far – and how, over time, our passion to worship and glorify God through movement has brought us together - only God could have directed our steps in such a way to unite us for a time and a purpose as this!

Our commitment to continually develop our relationship with the Lord through prayer, fasting and devotion is central to this ministry. We’ve attended various workshops & conferences led by local and international facilitators - and through our team development days in 2013-14, we agreed the vision, goals and action plan. This process not only birthed the NTCG Liturgical dance ministry – but friendships have also blossomed within our team and the wider NLDNUK.  

On behalf of the team, words cannot express our gratitude to the NLDNUK – in particular Dawn Benjamin and Lillieth Miller (aka: our ‘spiritual midwives’), for the way they have lovingly nurtured and supported us individually - and collectively, as a team. Their service and leadership is exemplary…. we thank you.

​

May we also take this opportunity to thank Bishop Paul Thomas (NTCG Nottingham District), for sharing the liturgical dance vision, for hosting the ‘Dance the Word’ seminar (July 2013) and a ‘Praise & Worship Evening in Dance’ (Nov 2013), in partnership with the NLDNUK.  In 2014, Bishop Thomas conducted the Ministry dedication service, where, yet again, we had overwhelming support from the NLDNUK. 

​

We also extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to everyone who has supported / assisted us along the way.

​

God bless you.
