The passion to worship God is the passion I speak of. According
to Webster’s dictionary there are several meanings of the
word passion. I would like to use two of them to relate where our
passion for God in worship should be and even the passion in our
practice of worshipping Him.

Stomp and Praise
This exciting new praise experience combines Scripture-based
songs with "stomp" instrument accompaniment! Children can use just
about anything that makes a sound to play the unique rhythm patterns
provided for each song. Rhythm charts may be printed from the enhanced
listening CD. A small group can play the instruments, the whole
choir can grab a soundmaker, or students and senior adults can join
the band too! No matter who plays what, you'll get fun, funky songs
that will tap, bang, and plop seeds of Biblical truth into the hearts
of children.
