Soli Deo Gloria Ballet:
"Lord, have mercy; Christ have mercy": the Kyrie Eleison, an ancient prayer
long sung by believers in Christ, expresses the heart of humanity's need -
and forms the refrain for Soli Deo Gloria Ballet's newest ballet.
Kyrie, will take audiences through the history of redemption,
through creation and the fall of man to the resurrection of Christ.
Kyrie Ballet Company will also dance in concert with St. Paul's Choir as they present the Anthem 'A Kyrie for Our Time' at the 10:30 am Service. Free Will Offering About Soli Deo Ballet: A non-denominational group of Bible-believing Christians. The gospel of salvation by faith in Jesus Christ is at the heart of all we do. Our faith is summed up well by the Apostles' Creed. Opportunities for professional dancers are limited. Opportunities for professional dancers whose heart is to worship God and spread the gospel through their art are even fewer. Dance is a powerful mode of human expression, and we believe it should be used for the glory of the God. Our purpose? To bring together dedicated dancers who are also dedicated Christians, so they can use their beautiful art form for the greatest of purposes. |
