CONTEMPORARY MUSIC REFRESHMENTS FELLOWSHIP
A group from Dover and Folkestone churches started in 2018 & had been practicing “Saints Alive” by Roger Jones of Christian Music Ministries (CMM) of Birmingham for 12 months when lockdown happened in March 2020.
(Roger Jones is a former schoolteacher, living in the Midlands, who has written many musicals and heads up “Christian Music Ministries” (more details on their website))
*** IS IT FOR ME? ***
All these musicals are lively, accessible, inspirational - and fun!
They are ways of celebrating God’s work amongst us and an opportunity to share the gospel with people who will attend the performances, a means of outreach.
As well as enthusiastic singers, we need instrumentalists, narrators and people who like drama.
The ability to read music is helpful but not essential.
