"Reboot Your Worship" in time for Advent!
A 40-Day Virtual Coaching Experience with Dr. Marcia McFee and the Worship Design Studio
September 10 - October 19, 2017
You know what it's like when your computer needs to be rebooted?
The same thing can be said of our worship if it hasn't
gotten the attention it needs!
It gets bogged down, sluggish,
is on the verge of crashing.
Worship that doesn't inspire,
isn't attended.
You know your worship needs help, BUT... you don't have the
time to figure it out or you're not sure where to start.
You need an expert to walk you through it step-by-step!
If you're finding yourself stressed out by worship planning, frustrated by lackluster attendance, or missing the real presence of the holy
on Sunday mornings, your worship needs a reboot.
Do you want your church's worship to be so inspiring that people talk about it all week? Would you like to involve more of the congregation
in the service and touch their lives more deeply? How about freedom from the pressure of worship planning every week so
that you can enjoy life?
This Fall, in the course of 40 days,
that-walk step-by-step with you in implementing...
5 Reboot Practices
that will REVOLUTIONIZE your worship…
The time you spend working on worship
has the gretest impact, on the most
number of people, of all the tasks
you undertake in ministry"

Implement the 5 Reboot Basics and Watch Your Worship Soar!
.
Get down the number one practice that will decrease stress over Sundays while dramatically improving the quality of
your services! Have more time to enjoy life and also more powerful, inspirational worship!
Learn how to effectively keep your congregation engaged as active participants in the worship while improving the quality
and spirituality of the service. Congregational participation in worship is highly correlated with church health
and growth, but it's hard to do while maintaining worship quality if you don't know these practices.
How to bring messages alive for every type of person in your congregation with worship that employs the science of
the "Three Vs".
The personal discipline that will help you master the key to true authenticity, enjoying worship yourself, and
be seen as a more spiritual leader!
Ever catch someone looking at their watch during the service? Master the most overlooked but important aspect
of worship. Get comments like this: "The hour just flew by! We didn't want it to end!"
True Step-by-Step Help:
Over each of the 6 weeks you will receive an e-mail on Sunday with links to the live interactive training as well as article resources about a Reboot Basic that's proven to enhance your worship design and leadership. You will be led and encouraged by Marcia to take an Action Step in the design process for your Advent series so you’ll be ready ahead of time! On Tuesday, you will receive an Affirmation e-mail and reminder about the interactive webinar session with Dr. Marcia that takes place each Thursday. Even if you can't make the live session, you'll still get a recording of the webinar and even have a chance to submit your questions the day before the webinar!
The only difference between a rut and
a grave is the depth...
Ruts happen when we wait until the last minute to do everything and all
we have time to do is what we've done before.
We all get into ruts! Worship can get into a rut when we don't take time to revisit those things "we've always done."When we take the time to take a fresh look at our worship, we can revitalize and ho nor traditions AND create new practices that quickly turn into beloved traditions! When we get a more consistent way to design worship, we have time for worship planning to be life-giving and not soul-draining! AND we have the leisure to incorporate the vast resources now available to us!
Sunday Comes Around EVERY Week!
Eliminate that Constant Stress!
Planning week-to-week "one hit wonders" is exhausting. Face it - Sunday comes around EVERY WEEK! BUT if you had the whole cycle planned and ready before Advent began, imagine the possibilities! You could have a deeply spiritual and renewing Advent practice of your own. You could enter Advent feeling a connection to God that has transformed you rather than burned you out as a church leader. AND if you weren't completely burned out by Holy Week, guess what you could do? Instead of the next few weeks being a "low-time,"you could actually have an amazing worship series ready to invite those church-goers to come back for!

People Want to Spread the Word about Worship at their
Church when it's GOOD!
"WOW! We really worshiped!" We all long to hear this as people leave the worship space. When worship is sensory-rich,
it moves folks right where they are. Whether it is the music that inspires them, an moving sermon
that gets their attention, a beautiful space that has been intentionally prepared visually or actions that
have engaged them, they go out talking about what Dr. Marcia calls "M-M-Good"worship–meaningful and memorable.
And when worship is memorable, they are more likely to tell friends and strangers alike that there is something for
them at our church!
Wouldn't it be Great to Have Real, Creative and
Trained HELP?
Dr. McFee has spent two decades honing ways to get people involved in helping create worship WITHOUT having too many cooks in the kitchen! Having studied creative process and techniques, she has concrete plans about how to get people involved, organize and fine-tune the team process and make it a group that not only works together, but plays and worships deeply together. The two top reasons why people don't have success with a team are too many meetings and not a clear enough system of working together. This Reboot will answer both of these issues!
Unlimited members of your church can receive the Reboot materials!

Here's What People are Saying About our
Last Reboots (Lent and Advent):
Dear Marcia and crew,
Thank you for the ReBoot series. I had no idea an on-line course could be so meaningful and practical.
Now, I'm a believer. So much to compliment!
The structure, with weekly, specific assignments, held me accountable in a way that allowed me to feel
progress….
The Reboot approach kicked it up a notch. … This approach, like having a coach working alongside
me, helped me shift/learn new ways of crafting worship. I needed this in order to change some habits.
The five areas we focused on in ReBoot were great choices, at least for me. I felt inspired, challenged,
and affirmed. what a relief to have sermons planned through beginning of Lent. (And yes, now i am
carving out time to plan Lent.)
Thank you for [your] vision and hope… I'm grateful, and renewed.
Blessing

guide, thinking on Advent-Christmas season with the wonderful help of Marcia McFee Worship Design

- Ximena A. Varas

Thank you for yesterday's first reboot session…. if I can help my congregation gently shift to a better way
of experiencing God's presence, I will have accomplished a lot.
Specifically, it will be a quantum leap for me, and an immense help for my team.
And this is God's timing: the stuff you said we will be working on during the next couple of weeks,
planning for Advent, will set up our October 14 Worship Planning Meeting at
Hardy UMC. Nice!"

Imagine Starting Advent with Everything Planned through Christmas!
Yes, you CAN do it. Each week Marcia will guide you through an action item in order to have the season done by
the end of the 40 days. If you decide to utilize the sample series from the Worship Design Studio,
you can even cut the amount of time you spend on it in half or more because the sample series
are stock full of great ideas for each worship art.
By learning the process of designing the entire season as a whole, instead of week-to-week, you can
breath a sigh of relief way before the season starts!

Here's What People are Saying About our Last Reboot:
"You have been a way for God to speak to me. Thanks for the sharing and motivation. I have been more creative in worship, personal and group, because of your calling. Thank you and keep on! "
- Santhia Jo Collins
Thank you so much for this wonderful invitation to "reboot" our worship, and for the inspiration it has provided…
The services were still "broken" up by song here, reading here, now its time for this or that, UNTIL today! I invited myself to play during awkward moments, something I just never felt comfortable doing here. You gave me permission to be all I am, and offer all I am as their "director of music and arts".... I had many smiling encounters afterward. And talked with several eager participants about things I needed in the future. Yay!"

Atchison United Methodist Church Atchison KS USAFind out How to Get Past the 'Worship Wars!'
The "Politics of Change"
I know it's hard to believe, but some church people like things done the way they've always been done. It can be challenging doing something new with worship, even if that change is clearly for the better. How can you do something new without losing the people who liked it the way things were?
Let Marcia be the voice of encouragement and renewed excitement for your congregation. You can invite unlimited numbers of people from your church to receive the Advent Reboot materials, and Dr. McFee has a passion for spreading the vision of passionate, inspiring worship to the entire congregation!
She also has a lot of experience and insight about why people react to worship in various ways (from positive to negative). You will be able to see Marcia teach her infamous session called "The Politics of Change," which ALONE could change the way you and your congregation communicate about worship differences and move forward in a loving way toward more vital worship even if some parts aren't everyone's "cup of tea."Creating a Culture of Radical Hospitality about worship will get you beyond the "worship wars!"
What Price for Spiritual Depth and Transformed Lives?
Are you tired of just "getting by" on Sundays? Do you want to have less stress and more engagement in the service?
Are you ready do whatever it takes to have powerful experiences of God during your worship?
Dr. McFee normally charges a church $3,500 for a weekend's worth of coaching. She has helped hundreds of congregations revolutionize their worship in this way.
For your church to attend one of Marcia's training conferences, the cost would normally be $500 then travel and expenses usually a couple thousand dollars total.
During the Reboot, you'll have the opportunity to talk to Dr. McFee and ask your specific worship questions live during 6 weekly Q&A sessions, just as you would at a conference or church coaching event. You'll also benefit from extensive video and written training and help, specific to Advent.
What do you think a fair price would be for 40 days of world class worship coaching, for you and your entire church?
$10,000?
$5,000?
Can you even put a price on doing everything you can to bring the presence of God to your people in worship?
Fortunately, you'll have the opportunity to learn from Dr. McFee for a fraction of the price that her other clients pay.
The question really is 'what is the price for NOT paying attention to the quality and depth of your worship?
Anxiety over attendance, participation and vitality is one such price. Revitalized worship can invigorate the rest of the life and ministry of the church. There's not much to lose and a LOT to gain just by giving some more attention to your worship and following some simple Reboot Basics lined out in this 40-day experience"
As a special introductory offer to her online coaching program, Marcia is allowing 250 people (the most we can fit in a live webinar) to participate in the Advent Worship Reboot for
only $99!
If you are a United Methodist Church, check our list of districts that have purchased district access HERE
As the Advent Reboot includes live, interactive training, we've got to limit it to the number of folks that can join us at once on our video conferencing software. To be fair to everyone who purchased, we must cap the number of places so that everyone has a chance to attend the live portions of the event.
Unfortunately, there are only 250 121 seats left, and those will go FAST! Marcia has a huge following and her events are well attended. We anticipate selling out weeks before the event begins, so please take advantage of this Offer before it's gone:

P.S.
Friends, here is the bottom line. I know how dedicated you are and how much we all want worship to soar! But I also know how busy you are AND Sunday comes around every week–whether or not we've had time to take a step back and evaluate how we could make worship better. Sometimes it is much harder because we don't know where to start. We don't know how to get people on board. We can't imagine having the time to call yet one more meeting to inspire folks anew for the work of worship planning. Heck, WE need inspiration ourselves! I want to help you, just for 40 days, get focused on the things that can make a difference RIGHT NOW and we are going to do it without the hassle of onsite meetings because you can have unlimited numbers of people in your church receive the e-mails from us! I want to be the voice for your folks to get excited about planning so that by the time you get to the Advent season, you have seen significant movement toward more meaningful and memorable worship that changes lives and breathes fresh life into your church. Join me and let's do this together!
P.P.S.
Worried about time and money (who isn't)? I'm going to give you all kinds of usable resources that will help you get through these 40 days of coaching while still tending to your weekly worship. AS SOON AS you register, I'm going to send you worship resources for the Fall. And money? Well, think of it this way… even if you spread out this $99 investment between the 40 day Reboot plus the Advent / Christmas season that is going to be amazing because you did the Reboot… you are spending only $1.24 per day for renewed passion, support and live coaching. AND we have a money-back guarantee so there's no risk involved. Problems solved! Woo hoo!
