Interprative movement I think reaches people that just singing can't.
Don't get me wrong I like to sing too and know it reaches people.  I go to
Wayside Christian Mission once a month too and it is a homeless shelter and
I've learned that letting the people have a part in the service really helps
them.  That's also true with the nursing home.  Some people see me do the
interprative movements and it helps them visualize the song in a way that
maybe they hadn't before.
