History

Hi, my name is Sandra Knoerr and I am the owner of Heaven's Workshop. Approximately 8 years ago, God began birthing in me the ability to create garments for Him. I had known how to sew since my teen years, but never thought of the limitless possibilities of sewing for the Lord. Along with birthing the creative process in me, God led me to a dance worship group, called the Glory Dancers. It was there that I learned about the awesomeness of worshipping the Lord in dance and began sewing dance garments for the group. From there God led me to create streamers and tabrets and ephods. During this time, I learned about the Scriptural basis for creative and expressive worship. My own research into the Word has given me a better understanding of the significance of colors, design, etc., and I let God lead me in using this knowledge in creating the product line for Heaven's Workshop. My journey has been a wonderful "dance" with the Lord and much of the purpose of this site is to share all this with you. My personal belief is that God is worthy of nothing but extravagant worship and praise. Psalms 68:4 says, "Sing unto God, sing praises to His name; Cast up a highway for Him that rideth though the deserts; His name is Jehovah; and exult ye before Him." Do you realize that our praises build a highway for God Himself to ride on? Do you want to build a dirt path or a road fit for a King!!! I believe that when we dance for the Lord and worship Him with all our heart and soul that He laughs over us with delight. Zephaniah 3:17 says, "The LORD your God is with you�He happily rejoices over you, renews you with His love, and celebrates over you with shouts of joy!" In the original Hebrew, that word "rejoices" means having exceedingly great joy and pleasure, and the word "celebrate" means - to dance - to spin around. His dancing over us should release us to dance!!

Heaven's Workshop as a business was started in spring of 2004. Since its inception God has increased the product line to also include some street wear, flags, tambourine tassels, carrying bags for tambourines and streamers, and other accessories. My product line will grow as I grow with God. My heart is to give you garments and worship tools that are of quality construction, and with those tools give you a Scriptural understanding of the purpose behind the tool. As of now, all items are constructed by me alone, therefore I request that you allow two to four weeks to receive shipment of your order. Most likely you will receive your shipment much sooner, but doing it this way gives me a little leeway for time should I get several orders at once.

I now also serve the Glory Dancers as their leader and have done so for eight years. This group does a variety of Messianic dance, sign language dance, tambourine dance and Christian contemporary dance. The group is based in Columbia, MO and has ministered both on the streets and inside churches. The Glory Dancers would be delighted to come and minister to any church wanting to know more about dance worship or to groups wanting to minister outdoors in an evangelistic setting. We can do mini-workshops on the biblical basis for dance worship and use of streamers and tabrets or tambourine dance, and we can also share some of the choreography from our own dances that we utilize when we go out to minister. Please feel free to contact me by using the email address located at the bottom of this page for more information.
