Haynes, pastor)!  I also returned to Arlington Church of God (Akron, OH, Dr. Diana Swoope, pastor) and worked with their children!  Cincinnatti was the location of this year's Gospel Music Workshop of America where I presented several songs and was one of the directors of the GMWA children's choir.</I></div> <bR> <div> <I>October 6-8 was the 12</I><I>th</I><I> annual Columbus Children's Mass Choir (CCMC) Workshop and Concert. The children did an excellent job! We thank God for 12 years of ministry with this group!  We were blessed to have three of our CMMWC friends from New York to attend the concert!  We want to say thank you to </I><I><B>Audrey Campbell, Sheldon (Smiley) Price</B></I><I>, and Sheldon't new husband, Rev. Vinscent Price, for coming to Columbus and supporting us!!  What a wonderful blessing!! </I></div> <bR> <div> <I>The 2010 CCMC workshop will be held October 5, 6, & 7 and the concert will be Saturday, October 9, 2010.  Come join us and witness this unique ministry!</I></div> <bR> <div> <I>This year my son, Mark, continued working on our new company, </I><I><B>CFG Multimedia</B></I><I>, which will house another phase of our projects!  Our website is up and developing! Check us out at  </I><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.CFGmultimedia.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.CFGmultimedia.com"><U><I>www.CFGMultimedia.com</I></U></A><I> </I></FONT><I>!  We have added another person to our CFG Multimedia staff, Andrew M. Wesley. He is currently an advanced PhD Candidate in Musicology at The Ohio State University. </I></div> <bR> <div> <I>CFG Multimedia has been working on my new project, "Wonderful Rainbow World," which is a collection of songs about diversity, patriotism, and self-affirmation that can be used at home and in schools!</I>  <I>This new project includes 13 songs that I have written over the years to use in my school and with the Columbus MLK children's choir.  Songs include: Wonderful Rainbow World, Dear Dr. King, Peace Starts with Me, Living the Dream Pledge, A Smile is the Same in Any Language, The Pledge, Today We Celebrate MLK!, Song for Veteran's Day, The Constitution, A Lesson from my Box of Crayons, Stop and Think, Affirmation of a Genius, and I Dream of a World.</I></div> <bR> <div> <I>This project has several phases--the first phase is now available!  It includes the songbook with scores, reproducible singer pages, scores for Orff instruments, and performance tracks. We recorded the vocal CD this spring, which we hope to release soon.  Future plans with the music from this project include: a children's exercise DVD, and scores for middle school and high school bands!  So if you are a parent, classroom teacher, or a music teacher, get ready for some awesome, exciting music for your students!</I></div> <bR> <div> <I> Please keep me in your prayers as I continue to work for and with God's children.  Also, pray that God will continue to order my steps and "enlarge my territory" that I might go about spreading His word in song with His children!</I></div> <bR> <div> <I>Blessings and peace to you all!!</I></div> <div> <I>Cynthia</I></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id31_m.htm" TITLE=" News and Events"><U>Back to Top</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
