Christian Woodstock

Thousands of believers, mainly young people, are flocking to the campgrounds of Agape Farm in Mount Union, Pa., for the major annual music festival where alcoholic beverages and drugs are not allowed and the dress code is “modesty.”

Several stages at the festival are featuring popular Christian music artists, including Newsboys, Switchfoot, TobyMac, Hawk Nelson and Chris Tomlin, just to name a few. But Creation ’08 is about more than music, organizers say.

“Hundreds of thousands of people have been spiritually enriched and made life-changing decisions for Christ and we give God all the glory,” according to the festival Web site. “The Creation Festival is all about changing lives and glorifying our Creator. Our prayer for at Creation '08 is that people will be changed, restored, and challenged to serve the Lord and to make a difference in this world.”

This sounds somewhat similar to the original Woodstock in that it is a huge event in a field. The goals and aims are certainly higher than the original.
