The Worship Design Studio Experience!
With Dr. Marcia McFee
in the Omaha Area
April 2 - May 3, 2016
No matter the denomination or "style" of worship,
no matter the size of congregation,
worship that is theologically, biblically and symbolically rich,
communicated in sensory-rich ways,
facilitated by leaders with spiritual depth,
CAN
transform lives.
For 25 years, Dr. Marcia McFee has taught theories and techniques
for this kind of worship design and leadership.
Now for the first time ever...
Dr. McFee will be in residence FOR 5 WEEKS in the Omaha area offering
this new workshop format that gives church staff and their lay volunteers
an
in-depth
training experience for creating sensory-rich worship!
Join Dr. Marcia McFee for a 5-week course for everyone who works on worship at your church.
Starting with a
Saturday workshop for everyone on April 2
, Marcia will lay the groundwork for how to design meaningful and memorable worship together–the process, the timeline, how to get people involved (even if you don't have a typical "worship team") and have the most inspiring experience possible in planning and worshiping!
Then
every Tuesday night
for 5-weeks, she will go in-depth and hands-on with each worship art. You can decide to have the same people present at each session or just those who are interested in the particular art form each week (and we will provide videos of these in case you can't come to them all!)
By the end, you will have a
turbo-boosted group of people
with a clear plan, clear vocabulary of design, tons of concrete ideas and excitement for the process. If you don't have a "team," this is a great way to develop one if you have always wanted to!
