All Together Worship 2010

After hearing that “Worship in the Square” would not be taking place this year, a new event has been established, All Together Worship 2010. Spearheaded by the Burtts Corner Church of Christ, this free event is designed for all denominations and all walks of life. The event will take place on Saturday, August 21, 2010 in a neutral location at the Keswick Landing Mall allowing us to invite the general public to participate without financial obligation.

The name of the event was derived from the worship chorus, “Here I Am To Worship”. As we meditated on this familiar song we were drawn to the part of the chorus that says “You’re altogether lovely, altogether worthy, altogether wonderful to me”. Though the writer of the chorus was obviously pouring their heart out to God, we were drawn to reflect on God’s plan for us. He wants all of us together with Him for eternity. There is no better way to celebrate our “…lovely, …worthy, …wonderful” Heavenly Father, then by coming together to worship Him!

The goal of this event is to unite area churches and reach out in Christian love to Fredericton and the surrounding region. It is our prayer that through this event, lives will be changed and families strengthened through the saving power of Jesus Christ.

We are extremely excited to announce that 2010 Dove Award Winning Artists, the Sidewalk Prophets (www.sidewalkprophets.com), have been chosen to lead this free worship concert! Their hit song “These Are The Words I Would Say” was featured in the major motion picture “Fireproof”. Two time Super Bowl Champion Lee Rouson will also be on hand to share his inspiring testimony with us. Other artists will be announced soon so stay tuned to this website. You can also sign-up to be part of our Facebook group where you will receive all the event news and updates.
