Dear colleagues & friends, |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The 'Teaching Mission' in September this year will be led by Mr. Roger Jones who is the most widely acclaimed composer of Christian musicals in Britain.
|
|
| |
|
| |
ROGER JONES was born in Birmingham and trained at the Birmingham School of Music. He then spent 16 years at Aston Manor School in Birmingham teaching music, and eventually became Head of Lower School. In the early 1970s he began writing songs for his School Choir about Easter, which emerged as a Cantata entitled ´Jerusalem Joy´. Roger first began composing, so as to involve as many as possible in music-making and in telling Bible stories and Christian truths in an interesting and accessible way. |

|
| |
Just prior to the publication of ´From Pharaoh to Freedom´ in 1984, Roger gave up teaching to become involved in Christian Music full time. In addition to writing and performing musicals, Roger also directs Christian Music Ministries, (CMM) which now publishes his material. CMM leads music workshops, conferences, courses and seminars about worship, praise and renewal throughout Britain and abroad besides running a mail order service supplying music and worship resources. Roger is no stranger to our community. He has been involved with the work of our Chaplaincy Department and presented `Wildfire´, the story of St. Stephen in 2004. |

Roger and his wife Mary Jones are members of the East Birmingham Renewal Group (EBRG) and are financially supported by the EBRG Trust. Let us pray for Roger and Mary as they prepare to lead us in this Teaching Mission. Let us prepare ourselves for this Teaching Mission and uphold this in our personal and family prayers. |

With warm regards.
|
| |
Yours sincerely,
|
