Dear friends,
I know – you haven’t heard from us since April! We have been immensely busy completing our new musical, ZAC. Read the story in Luke 19:1-11.
All is going very well. Alison Fuggle and I have finished composing, and Annie Routley, Chris King and Tim Jones are finalising the initial backing tracks. This week we are in the studio recording vocals and choral parts. Rachel Moger and Alan Walker, respectively playing ‘Jericho Resident’ and ‘Matthew, Former Tax Collector’ have recorded the story links, and are real life daughter-in-law and father-in-law! Richard Ayres has beautifully recorded the part of Zacchaeus, and Devon Brown has done a wonderful rendering of Jesus. Is he getting type-cast?!
So, ZAC matters:
We are so grateful that many of you have contributed to the Go fund Me appeal to help with the cost of making the recording and music book of ZAC. But some of you might still like to help, and you can do so by using this link … . We appreciate every bit of help, large or small! Thank you so much.
Church Recording – Saturday the 20th of July 2pm to 4pm at Holy Trinity Lickey – we will teach then record some simple parts to be mixed into the final album. Come and be part of the project. You might even get a certificate to show you are on the CD!
Word Premiere of ZAC – Sat 28 September 7.30pm at Bromsgrove Baptist Church. Tickets already available …
Special offer – Music Book and CD of ZAC can be ordered in advance … available soon!
Most important of all, please pray that the whole ZAC project may be guided by the Holy Spirit and many will be drawn closer to Jesus.
