Arts Fest

ARTS FEST

The Arts Fest is an opportunity for High School-aged youth to give praise to God by sharing their gifts and talents with God and each other. The Arts Fest takes place late Friday night in the gym at Atlantic Baptist University.

Do you sing, play an instrument, perform liturgical dance, play in a band, sing in a choir, or perform in a puppet or mime team? We’d love to have you and your group as a part of the program. Each person or group may contribute only one number and we can only take a limited number of performers due to time restraints and the desire to balance the content of the program.

Film Fest

FILM FEST

The Film Festival will take place on Friday night at the High School Springforth track and offers the chance for students who are interested in making films to showcase their talents. The Springforth Planning team will select the top 5-6 films to be shown and the High School youth will vote on their favourite. Submissions and entry forms are due April 1, 2010

Offering

The High School offering will be going to two locations -- one globally and one locally:

• CBM Global Field Staff Aaron and Erica Kenny will join us at the High School track. The Kenny’s minister to the displaced Somali population living in the urban ghetto of Eastleigh, Nairobi. The first portion of the High School offering will go towards helping refugee children in Kenya attend primary school for a year. Springforth has the opportunity to contribute to one of the millennial development goals of making sure that all children receive a primary education. Many children in Africa are denied basic access to education because of the fees connected with going to school. $300 will help provide one year of primary education to one child!
• A portion of the High School offering will also be given towards Crandall University’s (currently Atlantic Baptist University) Future Foundations campaign that is funding new courses, programs and expanding existing facilities that will support student growth to at least 1250. Registrants at Springforth have the opportunity to make an impact on future students by helping to make room for them to receive a quality university education firmly ROOTED in the Christian faith. $200 will buy one-square footage of the new academic building on Crandall’s campus where students will be given the chance to build a strong foundation for life and service – academically and spiritually.

Workshops

Title	Description
WHAT DOES CLIMATE CHANGE HAVE TO DO WITH MY FAITH? Room 231 - Peter Young	We often hear about global warming and environmental problems on TV, but most of us don’t hear it discussed that often in our churches on Sunday morning. Does the Bible have anything to say about how God wants us to treat the earth we live on? In this seminar, we’ll explore the idea of a Christian response to the environment.
EAT THIS BOOK Room 133 - Dan Pyke	The Bible is not to be read the same way we read a cookbook, a textbook, or even a great novel. Rather, Christians are to absorb, drink in, feed on and digest scripture. Through this workshop, you will learn the spiritual practice, feasting on the Word of God through the practice of prayer and reading scripture.
PRIVACY, THE INTERNET AND GOD Room 292 - James Griffin-Allwood	In the session we’ll be taking a look at how we represent ourselves and our lives online and what does the bible have to say about how we go about it.

What can we learn about God when we worship? Come to this session with questions for members of Atlantic Community and learn what it means to worship God through music!

THROUGH THE LENS OF FAITH Room 241 - Professor Chris Quek (Crandall U)	We are bombarded with hundreds of messages everyday. Media that tries to tell us what to buy, what to do and who we are.

Through a visual presentation and discussion, this session will seek to help you see the world the media portrays through the lens of faith.
