Event Promotional Partners:
JKelsey Management Co. / HOPE 98.5 / NewSong 96.1 / CKO 107.3 / CJLU 93.9

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 or Twitter groups where you will receive all the event news and updates.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Rita MacNeil and Four for the Lord headline Alive on the Island II

SYDNEY - Organizers of the successful Alive on the Island Festival ‘09 will host The East Coast Inspiration Weekend which will take place July 2nd ,3rd , and 4th at the Canada Games Complex of the campus of Cape Breton University.

Alive on the Island ll will feature top Atlantic Canadian artists and the return of one of Cape Breton’s most revered Christian Music groups, Four for the Lord who will re-unite for the first time in 5 years. The reunion will take place as part of the Friday night show.

Rita MacNeil and friends will headline Saturday night’s East Coast Inspiration concert plus multiple ECMA winners The Burke Family, North Preston Gospel favorites The Sanctified Brothers, ECMA winner Chelsea Nisbett, Amanda Mozvik and a house band featuring some of the East Coast’s finest musicians. The show will open with the school choir from Robin Foote & Coxheath Elementary under the direction of Carol MacDougall. The festival production is directed by Stephen Muise.

“This show was the highlight of last year’s inaugural Alive on the Island Festival for many attendees,” explains Pat Moore, Festival Manager. “The show was simply amazing – it received 12 standing ovations!” “This ensemble production is an excellent way to showcase another dimension of the East Coast’s rich musical talent base ” states Moore. “There are numerous Juno and ECMA awards among this stellar line-up, and when everyone sings with Rita MacNeil for the show’s big finale, it will raise the roof. This is a don’t miss show!”

Four for the Lord, Cape Breton's multi-award winning Contemporary Christian band will perform their much anticipated reunion concert as the highlight of the Friday evening musical celebration. Despite unprecedented acclaim as a result of their inaugural CD “Making Waves” which resulted in sold out shows throughout the Maritimes, Four for the Lord disbanded in 2005 leaving a significant fan base saddened and hopeful this was not the last they had heard of this talented group.

Also scheduled to perform Friday night are ECMA Artist & Mercy Award winner Martine Kelsey, up and coming sensation Taylor Burton and Godsent, the female Christian Music Group which is charming audiences around the region.

Rounding out the week-end will be a Song-writers Circle on Sunday afternoon including Aaron Lewis from the Carlton Show-band, Allan O’Donnell and others.

Tickets for the Alive on the Island ll festival event are now on sale at www.aliveontheisland.com[/i]

This fabulous East Coast Celebration Weekend will be brought to you as a result of the support from all levels of government including Enterprise Cape Breton Corporation, Nova Scotia Government Come to Life and the Cape Breton Regional Municipality.

On Sunday April 25th, join World Vision at Sackville Landing in Halifax, and show the G8 Development Ministers that you believe 5 years is NOT a child’s lifetime!


The Details:

Where: Sackville Landing on the Waterfront, Halifax, Nova Scotia
When: Sunday, April 25th, 2010, 1:00pm – 2:00pm
Why: Join hundreds of others in creating a giant “5” to tell our global leaders that you believe five years is NOT a child’s lifetime and that you expect them to take action at the G8
What to wear: Wear a white shirt
What to bring: Bring a white towel or sheet, as well as white children’s objects – teddy bears, bottles, toys, strollers, stuffed animals etc.
Who to bring: Everyone you know! Children are very welcome too.
Contact person in Halifax: Mark Miller –


The Purpose:

Every year, 8.8 million children under the age of five die from preventable causes. We know the solutions, but our global leaders have lacked the will to implement them.

Ministers responsible for international development from all the G8 nations will be meeting in Halifax from April 26th–28th. The outcome of these talks will contribute to the substance of the upcoming G8 meetings in Muskoka, Ontario this June, and will greatly influence Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s approach to the child and maternal health discourse during the G8 summit.

Prime Minister Harper has stated that child and maternal health will be on the G8 agenda, but we need to make sure the G8 leaders do more than pay lip service to this preventable tragedy.

On Sunday, April 25th at 1:00pm, be part of making a giant “5” with hundreds of other people at Sackville Landing in Halifax to send a clear message to our political leaders that they must make a concrete commitment to children under five and their mothers at the G8!

The bigger the “5 the stronger the message, so come out and support mothers and children around the world!

Hope to see you there!
