Roll Down Justice Worship Resources

Get Lent worship done IMMEDIATELY

with full scripts for a deeply meaningful Lent journey

called "Roll Down Justice"

from Dr. Marcia McFee's Worship Design Studio!

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 9+ years of

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

with a variety of worship styles.

Like her highly-acclaimed "Gifts of the Dark Wood" and "God Bless Us Every One: The Redemption of Scrooge," this new series contains fully-developed 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. All you do is adapt for your context!

If you are not already a fan of Mark A. Miller's powerful music, you will be after this series!

A long-time Worship Design Studio Guest Expert and well-known-and-loved composer, Miller's extraordinary new resource, "Roll Down Justice: Sacred Songs and Social Justice" is featured in this series. Each Sunday has a feature song that illuminates the scripture and theme and can be done as a congregational song or choral anthem.

Your access to these materials

means that with the click of a button, you will have:

Ash Wednesday,

6 Sundays of Lent,

a special Holy Week pilgrimage experience,

and Easter

COMPLETELY scripted!

(Of course you will adapt as needed to suit your context–

even if you just pull the prayers, songs and choral suggestions, you'll be ahead of the game!

Mark Miller songbook and anthems sold separately)

The Series

Why this series for Lent?

Lent was originally a time of preparation for baptism. We reclaim the waters of baptism as our call to love ourselves as children of God, understand God's love for all people and then "go and do likewise" as we love the world and its peoples–resisting evil and alleviating suffering in all its forms. To connect Lent with our call as disciples to acts of justice–making a better world–we see the development of our inner spiritual journeys as essential to our work.

"Justice is what love looks like in public." - Cornel West

And there is no more important time than now for offering more love in this divided world.

Marcia McFee and Mark Miller have created worship in many settings together over many years, weaving their belief in the power of worshiping together as a catalyst for moving hearts, mind and bodies into greater empowerment for good. As we worship together, our voices and actions solidify our bond to God and to one another. When we are active participants in worship, we are formed as active disciples in the world.

Wondering if this is accessible for your congregation?

"Last year, Mark teamed up with the General Commission on Religion and Race to offer a Lenten study

that would invite congregations into conversations about reconciliation with neighbors near and far.

I was inspired by this format and decided to create worship to accompany the study this year.

We are also expanding that study in many directions so that you can pick and choose among a variety of resources for your small groups that will allow you to enter the conversation at different levels of engagement. Many churches have been talking about justice issues for a long time

and will appreciate the deeper dive into more challenging topics.

Other congregations will be at a more 'entry' level and will find resources

for incremental steps to greater awareness.

The prepared worship scripts allow for this spectrum of experience, serving as the theological and spiritual guide for hearing the prophetic call to let justice roll down." - Dr. Marcia McFee

The Materials

Our collaborators!

Dr. McFee utilizes the gifts of so many talented worship artists in her work. These are just some of the people whose work and contribution you will benefit from when you get this series:

A list of wonderful and diverse resources (videos, leader guides, books) to offer in

small group study and for sermon fodder from our

friends at the General Commission on Religion and Race
Creating powerful small group experiences and poignant sermons will be aided by these inspirational resources. I've also included sermon fodder to help you get started!

Original poetry/prayer for each worship experience by Bishop LaTrelle Miller Easterling, a powerful leader, preacher and writer. We are so thrilled to include her work in this series!

Songbooks from Chorister's Guild!

The good folks at Chorister's Guild published this amazing collection of Miller's songs. Roll Down Justice: Sacred Songs and Social Justice. This songbook includes reproducible song inserts for the congregation!

Scripted children's moments and suggested resources

for children's education by Mark Burrows,

author of several books on children in worship!

Suggestions for beautiful, interactive and easy-to-do visual installations

that will heighten the sensory-rich experience of the water imagery in this series.

Full piano scores for use of part of the theme song "Roll Down Justice" as a "threshold moment" (what I call an introit/call to worship) at the beginning of each service as well as the prayer song "Let Justice Roll" used throughout. (Songbook and anthems sold separately)
