In January of 2015, Dr. McFee and Dr. Elnes led a retreat for the BTS Center in Maine based on the manuscript for Eric’s upcoming book, Gifts of the Dark Wood: Seven Blessings for Soul Skeptics (and other Wanderers).
This retreat was so compelling that the seed was planted to create a worship series based on the book. Marcia’s frequent music collaborator, Chuck Bell, provided musical support for that retreat and was on board to work with Marcia to help create original music and arrangements for familiar hymns for the series as well.
The on-demand webinar below demonstrates all of Dr. McFee’s well-known principles of meaningful and memorable worship:
• Intentional Spiritual Journeys
• Congregational Participation
• Sensory-Rich Communication
• Deeply Spiritual Leadership
• Attention to Dynamics and Flow
Utilizing this webinar will not only help you plan for Lent instantly, it can help train your team as you practice the concepts of meaningful and memorable sensory-rich worship.
This is a recording of a live webinar that occurred on Jan 5, 2016.

Get Lent worship done IMMEDIATELY with full scripts for a deeply meaningful Lent journey called “Gifts of the Dark Wood” from Dr. Marcia McFee!
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, Dr. McFee has decided to offer fully-developed liturgies complete with prayers, litanies, communion liturgy, familiar hymns and songsuggestions (with alternatives for various styles of worship), original music, leader transitions completely written out, and ideas for visual and media elements.
Not only that, but 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. AND the Holy Week service is a fully scripted drama for six characters that can be done as readers theater or a fully-mounted production.
