The Firm Foundation Festival - 'Wide Open 2005' - will be held during the Spring Bank Holiday from 27th to 30th May at the Boy’s Brigade National Headquarters - Felden Lodge in Hertfordshire, UK.
The theme is based around a heartfelt plea that Apostle Paul expresses to the church in Corinth, encouraging the Christians to understand that following Jesus Christ is not restrictive, but leads to a positive and adventurous life of fulfilment.
The theme is providing challenge and encouragement at the festival this year, as it resonates with the Boys and Girls Brigade as a hugely relevant message for 21st century young people. Many top speakers and artists have been booked, and morning worship will be led by the Firm Foundations Worship Band.
Everyone is welcomed to join the programs which include Bible studies, seminars and workshops as well as a wide choice of activities such as archery, abseiling, swimming and evening entertainment including concerts, Dance Zone and late videos which go on until the early morning.
