I\u2019m thrilled with the creativity that is emerging in so many different ways, and delighted to announce the coming of a new musical, &nbsp;<strong>THE THREE WISE CAMELS<\/strong>.&nbsp; I\u2019m sure you can guess what it\u2019s about!&nbsp; It will be a short mini-musical (probably 8 songs) including a drama by Jane Hicks, for Christmas\/Epiphany.&nbsp; We are all very excited about this.&nbsp; The songs are almost complete, we\u2019re starting to get backing tracks arranged, and George Hicks is working on the cover artwork.&nbsp; We hope to have it available for Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-1-color has-text-color\">However, there are problems surrounding how we can complete the project: &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Recording voices will be difficult, although not impossible, but getting a choir or group together is problematic.<\/li><li>All our CMM events are cancelled, including the August music weeks, so sadly ministry opportunities are being missed, and we are not receiving any financial return.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Orders for products have significantly declined (Mary and I are managing to fulfil these ourselves whilst Tim is working from home).&nbsp; This also effects financial support for the ministry.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-1-color has-text-color\">But, we believe it right to keep going, in fact we are all working from home and very busy with exciting projects. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-1-color has-text-color\">How can you help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Pray for us<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 &nbsp;This is the absolute priority.&nbsp;
