On the magical evening of October 28th, 2023, Dominion Life Ministries International‘s Virginia Campus played host to an extraordinary event, “Harps and Bowls.” With over 150 passionate souls in attendance, this gathering was an unparalleled celebration of faith and creativity that left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who were fortunate to be part of it.
At the helm of this remarkable evening was Rev. Evelyn Van der Puije, a visionary leader who has dedicated her life to spiritual growth and a deep appreciation for the arts. With boundless enthusiasm and unwavering devotion, she created an event that stands as a testament to the power of faith and the boundless possibilities of creative expressions of devotion.
Revelations 5:8 – The Inspirational Foundation
“Harps and Bowls” drew its inspiration from the sacred scripture found in Revelation 5:8, a verse that paints a vivid picture of a heavenly scene. In this portrayal, four living creatures and twenty-four elders fall before the Lamb, each holding harps and golden bowls filled with the prayers of the saints. This profound image served as the guiding star for a night that embodied the very essence of worship and artistic expression.
The Harmonious Fusion of Melodic Harps and Golden Bowls
The stage was set for a divine experience that would be remembered for a lifetime. As the event began, the atmosphere was filled with the angelic sounds of melodic harps. These instruments painted the air with celestial melodies, immersing everyone in a state of spiritual transcendence.
Amid this mesmerizing music were the shimmering golden bowls, each a vessel representing the heartfelt prayers of the saints. As attendees bowed their heads in devotion, the golden vials were raised high, and the event resonated with the harmonious convergence of faith and creative expression.
A Night of Unprecedented Worship, Dance, and Art
“Harps and Bowls 2023” was not just an event; it was an experience that transcended the boundaries of praise, worship, dance, and art. It was, in the eyes of many, the best event ever. The evening commenced with an awe-inspiring dance performance by GMC DANCE, setting the stage for the spiritual journey that lay ahead.
Following this, the GMC CHOIR led the congregation in a powerful session of praise and worship that could only be described as a divine symphony of voices. Kemuel Van der Puije’s shofar call added an ancient touch of tradition to the proceedings, while Alyssa Castillano’s solo ballet dance was a graceful introduction to the RESTORED DANCE TEAM, whose elegant movements embodied the very essence of worship through dance.
JUDAH 1ST, the choir of Dominion Life Ministries International, captivated the audience with their powerful voices and harmonious melodies, setting a standard of worship that was unparalleled. AUDIENCE OF ONE brought unity and devotion to the forefront, leaving everyone with a deep sense of the divine.
Finally, the event culminated with Pas. Clarence and his choir, wrapping up the evening with a performance that left everyone in sheer awe of the spiritual journey they had embarked upon.
