Are you a morning or evening person? | "If I don't make time at the beginning of the day, then it just doesn't happen." | | Maarten Fontein |
There's nothing more personal than prayer. While some Christians enjoy an early start, others prefer to end the day with prayer. Alan Muscat, a member of the Baptist church in Bridgnorth, began wondering whether the time of day makes a difference to Christians. Do they have a similar warm feeling about this special time, or is it just a practical matter? How do they manage to fit prayer anywhere into a busy 21st Century lifestyle?

As a result of these thoughts and questions Alan produced a short film that takes a captivating look into the lives of three people and the importance that prayer brings to their busy lives. Despite never having produced a film before, Alan's creative design and photographic skills meant that he took to the new medium with enthusiasm and a small dash of flair. The music for the film is entitled Time Piece Light and was written and performed by prolific Shropshire composer Gerald Masters from his studio in Baschurch.

The Men's Group, led by Alan meets once a week. It exists to spiritually build up those who are part of the group, but also to share the gospel of Jesus and to show others the love of God through active involvement in the local community. When the group discovered that the BBC was encouraging people to make short films in their local area, Alan was keen to get involved. The key interests of Alan's life, in addition to his family, are his Christian faith, music (he plays the guitar), photography and his graphic design business. |
