• Artistic Worship Video Upload - If possible, try to video tape yourself leading your team or small group in Artistic Worship, like in the video or like at one of the conferences you attended last year. If this is not possible, talk about what you would do during a conference or worship service for Artistic Worship. Be creative. For example, talk about how you'd have the billow cloths set up, where you'd put people holding flags, where would the dancers be, etc. Then, maybe after that "picture" is created, maybe talk about how you'd change it into another "picture." An older, previous video is not acceptable.
• Artistic Worship Video Essay - Write about several of the exercises or what you saw on the video. Maybe write how you felt about doing the exercises or the ease of instruction. Also, you could write about yourself as it relates to the topic of the video. 200-400 words. SUBMIT HERE

February Worship Study and Activation - In Wil Bozeman's book, "The Worshipping Bride," There are scripture lessons about praise and worship. He and I co-host the retreats together every year and he is an exceptional Bible teacher. The author is Wil Bozeman, but the name of his ministry is called, "Wesley Scott Amos." So, when you see that on the book as the author, you'll know why. 

• You may choose any 8 out of the 18 chapters in the book. Please do them in order. In other words, for example, if you'd like to study chapters 2, 6, 7, 8, 12, 15, 16 and 18, please do them in that order. Don't start with say, chapter 16 then do chapter 2, etc. I'm sure you get the idea. Please do them in order, but you may choose any 8 of the 18 chapters. That will be one lesson for each of the first 8 months of the school (February - September).
• Select and study your first chapter choice 
• Then create a 4-6 minute video upload of an activation that you would give a group of people that relates to the lesson. It is not necessary to show with a group, if you don't have one. You may simply explain what you would do like: how to divide them up; how many groups of how many people each; what would you give them to do; would you have a hand out? What music would you use, if any?
• If possible, please try to be active in your explanation. In other words, please don't just read the whole thing in the video. But try to sort of walk and talk us through. Use props, if you have them.
• You may see some good examples as you scroll down through the level 2 Face book page. No need to re-teach the lesson. Please just create an activation as it relates to something in the chapter.  
• For your convenience, I've placed these assignments in Week 4 of each month. 
• For the title of the upload in FB, please put the month and type of assignment.
  • For example:  February Worship Study Upload
• When you introduce yourself and the assignment on the video, please say the chapter again and also for what month it is.
• For Example:  Hi my name is Lynn Hayden and this is my February Worship Study upload from the chapter, "Moses, The Power of Common Things."

• Where to Purchase Worship Dance Wear - Check HERE first, to see what sites are already present.
• While on this page, check for duplications and links that do not work and let Lynn know. This will be a great way to see the many flag and garment sites that are available and what they are like.

• Be sure to include the entire URL of the sites in the essay. 
• Research and choose sites that are not already on the 'Other Links' page and try to look for those hard to find sites of seamstresses who have beautiful garments. Please don't just pick Dance Distributors or those top advertised sites. Find the not well known, but who have lovely silk garments for example.
• You could write about what to ask before purchasing, like how do the sizes run or what is the return policy. Literally find that out about the particular sites.

Hint: Pretend you are teaching a workshop and divide the people up into 5 groups of 10 people each or like 10 groups of 5 people each. Then create an activation for them to practice, like you've seen at a DFH conference before. Again, please refer to the directions up in the March Creative Assignment for directions. This is an upload to Facebook. Please try to be active in the video. Again, this is NOT a dance or a processional.
