God Bless Us Every One - The Redemption of Scrooge

Get Advent/Christmas worship done IMMEDIATELY

with full scripts for a deeply meaningful journey called

"God Bless Us Every One: The Redemption of Scrooge"

from Dr. Marcia McFee!

Dr. Marcia McFee has been known for creating deeply meaningful and memorable worship for over 20 years.

In her Worship Design Studio online coaching website, subscribers have access to 8+ years of

worship series with ideas for every Sunday, designed specifically for mainline Protestant churches

with a variety of worship styles!

For the past several years, Dr. McFee has been developing fully-scripted liturgies complete with prayers, litanies, communion liturgy, familiar hymns and song suggestions (with alternatives for various styles of worship), original music, leader transitions completely written out, and ideas for visual and media elements.

These series are SO POPULAR and have helped SO MANY CHURCHES to have their most memorable seasons ever,

that she continues to receive countless e-mails

asking for more!

So, here is her answer:

"Advent/Christmas can be such a stressful time of year for pastors and worship artists. And what we'd really like to be doing is enjoying this season just as much as everyone else. With this fully-scripted series you can lead your team in quickly tweaking the materials for your context and best of all... give you peace of mind and excitement for the rest of the year! I'm so excited about this series! You are going to love our music, visual and dramatic suggestions as well as the wonderful small group resources available from Abingdon Press to accompany this worship series! I hope you'll join us in transforming lives and communities with a deeply meaningful holy-day season." - Dr. Marcia McFee

As with her other fully-scripted series, Dr. McFee has drawn on the talents of Worship Design Studio guest experts

for new arrangements of familiar hymns, ideas for Children's Time, and choral anthem suggestions.

The Series

Why this series for Advent/Christmas?

From Dr. Marcia: "In looking for a resource that would bring a meaningful and memorable experience to Worship Design Studio churches, I was struck by Matt Rawle's treatment of this classic tale. Far from being a surface treatment of a popular secular story, Rawle helps us see the correlation of Scrooge's transformation to the one we are invited to through the birth of Jesus.

In this series we will proclaim that living in God’s economy of grace and justice is the antithesis of the life-threatening addiction to money, success, exclusion and looking out for ourselves that seems to characterize so much rhetoric these days.

Just as God’s presence was born anew into this world,

we too can be born anew, woken up and redeemed

into renewed life, joy, passion, generosity, humility and love."
