HULA Ministry
Have a blast as you worship God and minister to others! Why should you join this exciting ministry? Drum roll please"¦here are our top ten reasons!
10. God made dance to be a good thing. He intended it for the worship purpose! Hula was originally a worship dance, Hawaiian style. What better way to worship God than to offer up a dance as a prayer and thanks, through Christian songs like: The Power of Your Love, Shout to the Lord, Healing Grace and Reach One More For Jesus.
9. Great exercise! Hula is low impact! Enhance your latest and favorite diet with hula! Burn those calories; lose those pounds! Feel good while blessing others through your ministry! We believe that helping others bring you and us hope, healing and health!
8. The one-stop shop that fulfills all five purposes! In addition to the worship and ministry purposes, this group also has awesome fellowship, prayer and praise sharing, Bible devotionals, small group care-giving and mission trips! It's all about FAITH, FUN, FITNESS and FRIENDS!
7. All are welcome! No experience needed; we'll teach you! We need all ages of men (yes, historically...men were the original and sole group of people allowed to Hula), women, kids, teens (junior high, high school and college students), the whole family! Tall, short, heavy, thin, Asians, Caucasians, all races, all faces, all paces and all graces. You don't even have to perform if you don't want to; just learn hula as your worship to Jesus! An audience of One!
6. We need all of you! Dancers, musicians, singers, photographers, videographers, organizers/planners, graphics artists, website help, equipment help, costumes, roadies and prayer teams. Whatever you can do, God can use in our ministry!
5. This is not work; it's fun! We usually become or hope to become the life of the party. We serve and perform for small groups, ministry meetings, church services, birthdays, weddings, memorials, hospital visitations, luaus and baby showers. Name it, and we'll dance for it -- for you, your families, friends, neighbors. We'll go anywhere that people need ministering to, witnessing to or cheering up!
4. We are partnering with other churches for one big happy hula for Jesus! Be a part of this newest and coolest experience to bring churches together! God loves unity! Saddleback has always been a "teaching and sending church." Let's continue to help other churches!
3. A Hawaiian Vacation! Everyone loves Hawaii! Why wait for a vacation when you can feel like you're on vacation with this ministry. Hawaii reminds us of a relaxing, restful, peaceful and beautiful place. Our ministry always reminds us of the islands...the calm, the peace, the beauty and the ocean breeze. Next year, we are planning a trip to Hawaii to connect with Hula Ministries & purpose-driven churches there! Come with us!
2. It's biblical! Psalm 149:3 "Praise His Name with dancing!" Isaiah 42:12 "Let them give glory to the Lord and proclaim his praise in the islands." Deuteronomy 16:15 "...For the Lord your God will bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete." Ecclesiastes 3: 1, 4 "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven... a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance..."
1. We change people's hearts and minds about hula! The first thing people think about hula is...coconut bras, grass skirts and showing skin. The Hula Ministry is more conservative than that. We are covered up with decent costumes and perform dance movements and songs that don't distract from our Christ-centered -- not self-centered -- message. This is not entertainment; it is "edu-tainment"; We share and teach about God's love and loving God back.
