Planning week-to-week worship is exhausting. And when worship quality takes a nose-dive, the energy and inspiration you and the congregation need to live fully into your mission diminishes as well. Get ideas and training that will enliven your task of worship design and leadership. Come experience, explore and learn how to offer worship that is meaningful (finds life at the intersection of our life and faith story) and memorable (living beyond the time and place of worship)!
Dr. Marcia McFee is a professor, worship designer, author, preacher and ritual artist. Her first career was in professional theater, music, and dance in major companies that toured the world. She brings all of that, combined with a Master’s in Theology and a PhD in Worship and Ethics to her ministry of designing, leading, and teaching about meaningful and memorable worship for the last 30 years.
A gathering for ministry personnel in Chinook Winds Regional Council, just prior to the regional AGM! Free of charge, meals included. More information and registration to come in 2025…but mark your calendar now!

You have been pouring out
in the faithful work of encouraging, guiding, supporting the community of faith.
You’ve been learning, inventing, advocating,

And now it is the cusp of Lent,
again, and yet
again a new set of circumstances.
