Hello,

I hope you are all doing well. This message is in two parts:
1. Update on preparations for the CCMS 2006 musical
2. Request for help at the CUC Christian Unity service on 23rd January

1. Apologies for CCMS's slow progress this term. The script for our
show has been developing somewhat more than originally anticipated,
but will finally be ready after Christmas. The plan now is to put the
show on as a full-scale production in May Week.
With a view to people having restricted availability during exam
term, preparation, scoring and rehearsals for the show will begin
soon after Christmas.
We will be seeking to change our regular meeting day from Monday, as
we have been disadvantaged by the unfortunate fact that this clashes
with the Revelation Rock Gospel Choir's rehearsals. The contenders
for an alternative are Friday evening and Saturday daytime; please
let me know if you have a preference.

2. On the evening of Monday 23rd January, CCMS will be taking part in
the annual service of prayer for Christian Unity organised by
Christians in Unity in Cambridge, to which CCMS is affiliated. This
will take place at 7.30pm in Clare College chapel. The preacher will
be the Anglican Bishop of Peterborough, who is Chairman of the Church
of England's Council for Christian Unity.
CCMS will be providing the music for one of the songs in the service,
namely "Over all the earth (Lord, reign in me)". I'm hoping that as
many as possible of you will be able to come and sing or join the
band for this. Please let me know if you can. You can find the music
(overalltheearth.pdf) in the CCMS group files section at
http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/ccms/files/
In any event, I strongly encourage you to come to the service, as it
will be a fantastic occasion!

I hope to hear from you.

Have a fantastic Christmas and New Year!
Very best wishes,
Steven
(Acting Chair, Cambridge Christian Musicals Society)
