should local church dance teams minister evry week

In our church a CEC (Charismatic Episcopal Church) Cathedral, our dance team ministers on the first Sunday of each month. We call it "Celebration Sunday". In between, I'm free to interject movement myself (which I do with flags, banners, and intepretive dance), but am not permitted to include the dance team. We do additional ministry at holidays and provincial convocations when invited. The leadership seems happy with that arrangement. :bishop:
I'm at peace with it, myself. Although I believe that expressive movement can be appropriate anytime worship is happening, that is not the view of our leadership. One of the reasons I have been given is that they think the congregation will get tired of it if it is a part of every service.
We have a small but mighty and very committed team of seasoned dance/intercessors who are willing to function according to the desires of the leadership. They are a great model of meekness (strength under control) and because of that, I know the Lord honors the worship offerings of our team.
