H2O

Every Wednesday night I usually leave with my best friend to attend rehearsal for H2O, which is a family service our church provides every Sunday. My best friend was a dancer/singer at H2O last year, and this year I was going to be a dancer as well, but there was an opportunity for me to play one of the main acting parts so I do that instead.

Sometimes I don't have a part to act on Sunday, so I sit and watch the service. It's pretty entertaining to watch kids get up and dance, and also their parents. There's an enthusiasm involved in the service that you don't see during the regular service with the minister. H2O is a lot lighter and fun, while still portraying an important message every week.

I find the songs to be very powerful, not the usual songs you would hear during worship on Sunday morning. I also think it's refreshing to see the realistic situations the kids/actors go through, but adding a biblical twist to them. Most of the situations are seen in elementary schools or middle schools, but there are no Bible verses to tell kids to treat your neighbor as yourself or that you should bring your worries to God.

I really enjoy participating in the family service and I'm glad that my church has it, because most churches don't. I appreciate every single parent that sits with their kids and dances with their kids, because they embrace the experience along with their children instead of just sending them off to Sunday school. It's something that both of them can reflect on at the end of the day.
