CELEBRATION 2005 TO LAUNCH ON 100 HUNTLEY STREET - THIS FRIDAY, JUNE 25TH
For three
weeks in the spring of 2005, Christians will come together as
never before to demonstrate Christ’s love in practical ways in
every community across Canada. Celebration 2005, an initiative
developed by the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (EFC), is
encouraging believers in churches and ministries from coast to
coast to put their faith into action from May 21st to June 12th of
2005.
The first public presentation of
Celebration 2005 will be Friday, June 25th on 100 Huntley Street,
the daily Christian interview/talk format television program that
has been broadcasting since 1977. The program on June 25th will
focus on what Celebration 2005 is – globally, nationally and
locally. Viewers will discover how churches and ministries can
become involved, and there will be creative suggestions for
impacting people and communities in new and strikingly different
ways.
One of the guests on the upcoming program, Dr. Guy Saffold, vice
president and academic dean of Trinity Western Seminary, describes
Celebration 2005 as “a stunning opportunity for God's people in
Canada to join together in proclaiming God's love for the people
of our nation and our love for Him. Celebration 2005 is not a
standardized program that will be replicated. Instead, Celebration
2005 is a unique, networked event, a multi-faceted festival of joy
as groups of God's people from across the country reach out to
their communities in diverse ways. Now is the time for churches
and ministries to get on board with this pioneering event.” David
Macfarlane, the EFC’s director of National Initiatives, who is
leading Celebration 2005, and Barb MacDonald, an Ottawa-area lay
leader of a local church, will also appear on the program.
