INTRODUCING CYNTHIA

In 2019, just before lockdown, I retired from my role as a Manager, which I had performed for 23 years after gain Working with children who were disadvantaged and had s disabilities was my passion. Because of this I completed my BSc in Psychology (Hons), whilst working full-time and raising 3 children. My evening job at Rotherham Rugby Club to encourage and inspire children who lacked self-esteem and confidence, was where I acquired my design skills, which I now use to design a variety of booklets, orders of service and slideshows for funerals and a variety of occasions.

I have lived in Sheffield all my life and have attended the Church of God of Prophecy, Duke Street from my childhood. I currently have the role of Church Administrator and Treasurer and form part of the Worship, Praise and Musician Team playing my saxophone.

I was impressed to take up the saxophone after seeing Mark Bunney, from the Seventh Day Adventist Church, play at a Easter concert we had. However, I personally like to play the tune of a song or the alto, rather than the squiggly bits like Mark performs. I have been playing on and off for around 10 years, usually playing with the musicians at church or independently at events when requested. My resolution this year is to practice more as I bought a 10 session course to learn how to play, and I’ve only got to session 4. I just pick the saxophone up and seem to be able to play it, but I still have a lot to learn as there are some keys on the instrument that I have never touched.

I love playing this instrument and want God to be glorified when I play.

Proverbs 31:26

She opens her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
