The Defeating Scrooge Spirit Saver Online Program can be used by individuals, gatherings of family and friends AND for churches, READ ON:

Are you looking for a creative way your church can make meaningful connections with more people this Christmas?

Would you like to…

  • Reach more of your neighbors with the hope, peace, joy, and love of Jesus’ birth?
  • Give your members an easy, non-threatening way to invite people to church and share faith during the holidays?
  • Make your congregation stand out at a time of year when many more people seek churches to visit… even join?

If you want this Christmas to make a big difference in your congregation’s ministry and outreach, I can help!

My name is Renae Baker, and my Defeating Scrooge Spirit Saver workshop and online program help people harness the power of Christmas music to revive and nurture their holiday spirit.

Help Your Members and Neighbors Rediscover Christmas Joy and Peace

As a church leader, you know the holidays can be so hard for so many.

Sadness… stress… loss and grief… They can all conspire to keep us from feeling the peace and good will about which the angels over Bethlehem sang.

Every Advent and Christmas, people all around your church… and even in your own pews… feel lost and alone – frozen in a bleak winter of the soul, no matter the weather outside.

But I’ve discovered, in more than 20 years of directing professional Broadway carolers, that the music of this season, known and loved by people of many faiths and none at all, holds real power to restore gladness and ground us in love.

What a gift your church could give by offering people the chance to rediscover their Christmas Spirit through a fascinating, invigorating, and fun encounter with the season’s songs, carols, and hymns!

How My Workshops and Online Program
Help People Fall in Love with Christmas Again

Whether as a live workshop or an online course, my Defeating Scrooge Spirit Saver program…

  • Explores the fascinating true stories of how these songs came to be, so people can appreciate the music they hear during the season in deeper, soul-sustaining ways.
  • Reveals techniques for using Christmas carols to nourish our growth as happy and whole people not just in December but all year long… and all the years of our lives.
  • Equips people to reset or redefine their personal “holiday spirit triggers” – the seasonal sights, smells, tastes, and sounds that quickly connect us to the light and life of Christmas we want and need.

It’s nothing less than a way to help people fall in love with Christmas again… to cut through the clutter and commercialism and experience the season as a beautiful time of gladness and grace.

What People Are Saying About The Defeating Scrooge Spirit Saver Program

“Again and again, people remind us in the church they long to experience authentic connection with themselves, each other, and God. Christmas music can unlock that gift like nothing else. Renae Baker’s Defeating Scrooge Spirit Saver workshops gave visitors and longtime members alike the fresh and joy-filled reassurance that, if we open our minds and our hearts a little wider, the Spirit within and between us can inspire us to live abundantly, expecting grace, every day of the year.”

– The Rev. Gregory Horn (Senior Pastor, The Presbyterian Church of Upper Montclair, New Jersey)

“Every once in a while God raises up people who move the world in one direction or another. Renae Baker is one of those people.The Christmas Spirit alive throughout the year – a quixotic dream? Defeating the Scrooges of life by harnessing the power of faith has been the story of Renae’s life.”

– The Rev. Edward Clydesdale

“Christmas can be hard for me and for a lot of folks. But being able to put Renae’s ideas into practice will help me overcome some of the sadness the holiday may bring and put joy into giving to others and sharing the Christmas spirit. I will use Renae’s techniques throughout the entire year!”

– Mary Beckhusen (Director of Education, The Presbyterian Church of Upper Montclair, New Jersey)

“Renae Baker’s moving and powerful workshop is a wonderful tool to help us all regain the spirit of love that we feel at Christmas, and turn it into a feeling that endures throughout the whole year. Her passionate and compassionate style of teaching will educate and motivate anyone willing to look within for the answers we all seek.”

Use The Defeating Scrooge Spirit Saver In Person or Online

Your congregation can easily use my program in its ministry in several ways.

If you’re located a reasonable distance from New York City, you can bring me to your church to lead a weekly series of workshops or a one-day event.

Maybe you’ll want to offer the workshops as part of your Sunday schedule, or as a special mid-week or evening series during the Advent and Christmas seasons.

You might even schedule a one-day “mini retreat” to give people an uplifting and unforgettable break from all the holiday hustle and bustle.

And you might be surprised, but I’ve found it’s true: My workshops (as well as the online course) have a way of reviving the holiday spirit at other times of year, when we’re least expecting it! Help pick people up during the post-Christmas “blahs” in winter’s long home stretch, or plan a “Christmas in July” event or series to help people kindle their Christmas cheer during the summer.

I’m eager to work with your church, whatever the season. Click here to contact me so we can talk about your particular needs and how I can meet them.

Or, wherever you’re located, you can offer my Defeating Scrooge Spirit Saver online course.

Its five video sessions make perfect adult Sunday school sessions, or presentations around which people could gather for meals. They might even fit the format of your morning worship services, since each one has plenty of chances for folks to sing along!

And the online course is priced to fit any church’s budget. You can get the complete course for just $197.

Five sessions to inform and inspire those you’re serving, giving them a wonderful way to bring their Christmas Spirit back to life, all at a low price that won’t be a burden on your church’s budget!

Plus, once you’ve purchased it, your church has lifetime access, giving you a resource you can reuse in years to come.

And I’m giving you this 100% money-back guarantee:
