Hillsong

So far I've attended 3 Hillsong services and their anniversary Celebration at Darling Harbour.  It really does look like all the videos we've seen.  And, it is HUGE.  They have 8 services at their campus location and 7 services at their main location over the weekend.  They have a welcome lounge for newcomers that gives free coffee.  It is so easy to get lost at Hillsong, that it is extremely important to sign up for a small group.  The speakers are pretty decent.  And, you can tell that the pastors really care that their people grow.  It is also fascinating to see how they manage all these services and all these people and how they keep them connected and together. 

I miss my church though.  I feel that I get a less out of Hillsong than I do out of my own church.  There are so many announcements and so much goings on, that I feel I don't get the same depth out of it.  I'm sure it takes some getting used to.  And, I've definitely seen people care for each other and really share with one another.  And, I think is one of the most important things about people meeting at a church.

Anyways, those my brief thoughts on Hillsong.
