Details

Every Sunday during worship, creative people do excellent work. Pastors preach the text and lead the liturgy, musicians provide instrumental and choral music, educators shepherd children, and artists work on visual arts and other creative experiences that heighten everyone's sense of worship. However, without careful attention, the worship event can become a collection of pieces rather than a glorious whole. Churches of every size can invite clergy and laity to join together and create a service that inspires with its unity, harmony, and variety. Led by artist Ellen Phillips, this workshop was a time to explore collaborative methods as well as to share ideas for the art of worship.
