The arts - whether it's music or dance or drama or visual - are a wonderful way to enhance the worship experience, engage the congregation, bring stories to life in new ways, and create meaningful, memorable experiences for all involved.

The term "worship arts" means different things at different churches, but often times, it includes things like:
- altar decorations
- paraments
- banners (including ribbon and streamers)
- visual aids for worship
- flower arrangements, wreathes, and other decorations
- visual art
- audio and visual technology
- dance
- drama
There's been an effort at my current church to incorporate more of these things into our worship services on a regular basis, so last year, I started a worship arts team.
