Celebrate Jesus Day !
- Wembley Stadium

“To Pray for the Peace- Healing & Wholeness of England & the UK.”

The Vision: To assemble Christians from all four corners of this nation and of the world to come to Wembley stadium to Celebrate Jesus!

"...if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. " 2chron7.14


"...God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” john 4.24

Our aim is to bring together for one day around 100 000 Christians to Wembley stadium, the largest ever open air Assembly of Christians from all denominations of all time in England.

..."For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. "Romans 8,19

We hope :

1. To dedicate an entire day for the celebration of Jesus ; to bring together as a manifestation of unity; Christians of all streams and backrounds.

..."And all who believed (who adhered to and trusted in and relied on Jesus Christ) were united and [together] they had everything in common;" ACTS 2,44

2.To break the yokes and strangleholds of spiritual darkness, wickedness and immorality over this land.

..."The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds."2 cor 10.4

3.To heal the body of Christ , the church of Christ through a day of prophetic prayer, crying out and opening of hearts to God, worshipping Jesus and Praising the Lord Almighty.

4.To unction in the Power and Authority of God over this land once more through the Holy Spirit.

5.To restore the bleeding soul and wounded heart of the nations of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland; but especially the soul of England.

...."as it is written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear, down to this very day.” Romans 11.8

6.To usher in revival and a NEW anointing through massive corporate worship on an unprecedented scale.
7.To breakthrough in the heavenly realms into NEW LEVELS of experiencing God and His love.

“...The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, Luke 4, 18

8.To redeem the time, to redeem history and its wrongs through forgiveness and grace, mercy and compassion; understanding and intercession.

9.To reconcile the past as we enter a NEW DISPENSATION in the spirit ; that the Glory of God may be visibly manifested through Worshipping God in spirit, in truth, in Grace and transparency.

10.To revive the spirit of Christ again in this country; to bring JESUS as coming king , as husband, messiah and as Lord… to the throne, the altar, to His rightful place as the HEAD of HIS church. To make , declare and proclaim that JESUS IS THE LORD!

11.To set the captives free…to heal and return the hearts of the fathers to the hearts of their children and vice versa…to raise the banner, the standard…to lift the bar of faith…to smash into the next level of God for His Church.

...."And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.” Mal 4.6

12.To bring brotherhood or fraternity back to the church again as it was in the days of Acts 2; to see communities revived through the resurrection of its peoples and the breaking of the spirit of stupor over the youth of this country.

13.To overturn the tide of an unbelieving …immoral…naked and blind --fragmented society so that ALL may see what believing Christians hold dear; ie marriage…family…love…compassion… and sincere friendship.

14.To bless the nation and to bring about tangible change to unjust laws that further stifle our rights and freedoms as citizens of this land. To love all our enemies… to be a blessing to England…

15.To put love into action in the community. To see England saved! For there is HOPE...there is LIGHT at the end of the tunnel... and this is Christ in me. The Hope of Glory. amen.
……………………………………………………………………..

Conclusion: The heart and soul of this nation is bleeding away slowly but unstoppably…!-its youth are confused…without proper role models … stripped of their fathers by people with a political agenda. The future of this country is lost in its maelstrom of materialism…a country that has lost its soul…lost its way...lost its humanity.

...." For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."jer.29.11

The CELEBRATE JESUS day is about JESUS… about reviving communities… releasing individuals to accomplish what God wants them to do. To watch as the scales of spiritual blindness fall from the eyes of this land so that through revelation truth; the purposes of God might be revealed AND FULFILLED-and the confidence that God has placed on you might come to pass! Amen.
This is our ambition for the CELEBRATE JESUS DAY…!

“So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. 35 Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” JOHN 13.34-35

Welcome Home Church! Welcome Home JESUS!

Wembley Stadium is a stadium in Wembley, located in the London Borough of Brent in London, England. It is owned by The Football Association (FA) via its subsidiary Wembley National Stadium Limited, and its primary use is for home games of the England national football team, and the main English domestic football finals. It is also used for pop concerts and other sporting events.

With 90,000 seats the stadium has the second largest capacity in Europe (after the Camp Nou), and the largest in the world with every seat under cover[1]. Immediately following its opening, it was often referred to as the "new Wembley Stadium" to distinguish it from the original stadium. The stadium is also the most expensive stadium ever built.[2]

The previous Wembley Stadium (originally known as the British Empire Exhibition Stadium or Empire Stadium) was one of the world's most famous football stadia, being England's national stadium for football, and because of the geographical origins of the game was often referred to as "The Home of Football".[3] It hosted the European Cup (now the UEFA Champions League) final a record five times, and is one of seventeen stadia to have held a FIFA World Cup final. In 2003, the original structure was demolished and construction began on the new stadium, originally intended to open in 2006. This was later delayed until early 2007. The final completion date of the stadium came on 9 March 2007, when the keys to the stadium were handed over to the FA.[4]

Construction of the new Wembley, looking east, taken January 2006Wembley was designed by architects HOK Sport and Foster and Partners with engineers Mott MacDonald, built by Multiplex and funded by Sport England, WNSL (Wembley National Stadium Limited), the Football Association, the Department for Culture Media and Sport and the London Development Agency. It is the most expensive stadium ever built[2] at a cost of £798 million (roughly US$1.57 billion)[2] and has the largest roof-covered seating capacity in the world.

The all-seater stadium is based around a bowl design with a capacity of 90,000, protected from the elements by a sliding roof that does not completely enclose it. It can also be adapted as an athletic stadium by erecting a temporary platform over the lowest tier of seating. The stadium's signature feature is a circular section lattice arch of 7 m (23 ft) internal diameter with a 315 m (1,033 ft) span, erected some 22° off true, and rising to 140 m (459 ft) tall. It supports all the weight of the north roof and 60% of the weight of the retractable roof on the southern side.[5] The archway is the world's longest unsupported roof structure.[6] Instead of the 39 steps climbed, in the original stadium, to enter the Royal Box and collect a trophy, there are now 107.[7]

A "platform system" has been designed to convert the stadium for athletics use, but its use would decrease the stadium's capacity to approximately 60,000. No athletics events have taken place at the stadium, and none are scheduled.

The stadium is linked to Wembley Park Station on the London Underground via Olympic Way, and Wembley Central via the White Horse Bridge. It also has a rail link—provided by the Wembley Stadium railway station—to London Marylebone and Birmingham.

The initial plan for the reconstruction of Wembley was for demolition to begin before Christmas 2000, and for the new stadium to be completed some time during 2003, but this work was delayed by a succession of financial and legal difficulties. It was scheduled to open on 13 May 2006, with the first game being that year's FA Cup Final. However, worries were expressed as to whether the stadium would actually be completed on time.[8] The new stadium was completed and handed over to the FA on 9 March 2007, with the total cost of the project (including local transport infrastructure redevelopment and the cost of financing) estimated to be £1 billion (roughly US$1.97 billion).


The stadium in its very early stages of construction, circa August 2003
New Wembley Stadium looking south, down the new Wembley Way, January 2007In October 2005, Sports Minister Richard Caborn announced: "They say the Cup Final will be there, barring six feet of snow or something like that". However in December 2005, the builders admitted that there was a "material risk" that the stadium might not be ready in time for the Cup Final[9] and in February 2006, these worries were confirmed by the FA moving the game to Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.

The delays started as far back as 2003. In December 2003, the constructors of the arch, subcontractors Cleveland Bridge, warned Multiplex about rising costs and a delay on the steel job of almost a year due to design changes which Multiplex rejected. Cleveland Bridge were removed from the project and replaced by Dutch firm Hollandia with all the attendant problems of starting over. On 20 March 2006, a steel rafter in the roof of the new development fell by a foot and a half, forcing 3,000 workers to evacuate the stadium and raising further doubts over the completion date which was already behind schedule.[10] On 23 March 2006, sewers beneath the stadium buckled due to ground movement.[11] GMB Union leader Steve Kelly said that the problem had been caused by the pipes not being properly laid, and that the repair would take months. A spokesman for developers Multiplex said that they did not believe this would "have any impact on the completion of the stadium", which was then scheduled to be completed on 31 March 2006.

On 30 March 2006, the developers announced that Wembley Stadium would not be ready until 2007.[12] All competitions and concerts planned were to be moved to suitable locations. On 19 June 2006 it was announced that the turf had been laid. On 19 October 2006 it was announced that the venue was now set to open in early 2007 after the dispute between The Football Association and Multiplex had finally been settled. WNSL, a subsidiary of The Football Association, is expected to pay around £36m to Multiplex, as well as the amount of the original fixed-price contract. This meant that the Wembley Stadium was ready for the 2007 FA Cup Final on 19 May 2007. The official Wembley Stadium website announced that the stadium would be open for public viewing for local residents of Brent on 3 March 2007, however the event was delayed by two weeks and instead happened on 17 March. The keys to the new Wembley stadium were finally handed over to the owners on 9 March 2007 ready to be open and used for upcoming FA Cup football matches, concerts and other events.

A short documentary of its redevelopment can be found on the Queen Live at Wembley 1986 DVD. The reconstruction of the stadium is part of the wider regeneration of Wembley.

Although not completed or opened at the time, EA Sports added Wembley Stadium into the video game FIFA 07.

A statue of Bobby Moore—the captain of the England national football team when they won the 1966 Football World Cup at Wembley—was unveiled outside the stadium on Friday May 11, 2007.[13]


[edit] Structure

Inside the stadiumWith 90,000 seats, the new Wembley is one of the largest stadiums in the world with every seat under cover. This capacity is separated into 3 tiers of seating, with the lower tier holding 34,303 spectators, the middle one 16,932 and the upper one 39,165[14]
The stadium contains 2,618 toilets, more than any other venue in the world.[15]
The stadium has a circumference of 1 km (0.6 mi).[1]
At its peak, there were more than 3,500 construction workers on site.[16]
4,000 separate piles form the foundations of the new stadium,[1] the deepest of which is 35 m (115 ft).[1]
There are 56 km (35 miles) of heavy-duty power cables in the stadium.[1]
90,000 m³ (120,000 cu yds) of concrete and 23,000 tonnes (25,000 short tons) of steel were used in the construction of the new stadium.[1]
The total length of the escalators is 400 m (¼ mi).[1]
The Wembley Arch has a diameter greater than that of a cross-channel train.[17][18]

[edit] Pitch
The new pitch is 13 ft lower than the previous pitch. The pitch size is 115 yards long by 75 yards wide, slightly narrower than the old Wembley[19] Since the completion of the new Wembley, the pitch has come into major disrepute when it was commented on being "no good" and "not in the condition that Wembley used to be known for" by Slaven Bilić before the game between England and the team he managed, Croatia.[20] It was confirmed when the pitch was terribly cut up during the game, which was blamed by some[21] as the reason England did not qualify for UEFA Euro 2008 despite previous results also being blamed by others.[22]


[edit] Roof

Detail of the archThe new 6,350 tonne roof covers an area of over 45,000 square metres (11 acres), four acres of which are movable and rise to 52 m (170 ft) above the pitch.[1] With a span of 317 m (1040 ft), the arch is the longest single span roof structure in the world and is 134 m (440 ft) above the level of the external concourse,[18] and is designed not to cast a shadow on the pitch.[23] Contrary to popular belief, the stadium's roof is not fully retractable, meaning it cannot cover the playing surface in inclement weather.[24]


[edit] Tenants
The English national football team is a major user of Wembley Stadium. Given the ownership by The Football Association as of 10 March 2007, the League Cup final moved back to Wembley from Cardiff following the FA Cup final and FA Community Shield. Other showpiece football matches that were previously staged at Wembley, such as the Football League promotion play-offs and the Football League Trophy final, have returned to the stadium, as has the Football Conference play-off final. Additionally, the Rugby League Challenge Cup final returned to Wembley Stadium in 2007. The new Wembley is a significant part of the plan for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London; the stadium will be the site of several games in both the men's and women's football tournaments, with the finals planned to be held there. The Guinness Premiership reportedly discussed staging the London Double Header, usually held at Twickenham, at Wembley during the 2007-08 season,[25] although the game was ultimately played at Twickenham.

On 28 October 2007, Wembley played host to the first competitive NFL regular season game ever to be played in Europe. The New York Giants defeated the Miami Dolphins 13-10. The first 40,000 tickets sold out in 90 minutes.[26] The NFL since announced plans to stage a second UK game in 2008. Wembley will host the game, to feature the New Orleans Saints and the San Diego Chargers.[27]. The Race of Champions staged their 2007 event at the stadium, and have announced that the 2008 event will take place at Wembley Stadium, on December 14th 2008 [28]


[edit] Music

The stage at the Live Earth concert held at Wembley on 7 July 2007.Besides football, Wembley can be configured to hold many other events, particularly major concerts. Muse performed two concerts on 16 June and 17 June, completely selling out the new venue with a capacity crowd of 134,457. The Concert for Diana, a memorial concert ten years after the death of the Princess of Wales, took place on July 1, 2007. Metallica performed at the stadium on 7 July 2007 as part of the Live Earth concerts, and again the following day on 8 July.
