Hey Everyone!!

Well it was a very tiring week last week, but this is a new one, and a fresh start!!

Went to Hillsong London last week!! This was my second time there, and it was amazing! If you dont know who Hillsong are, they are a Church based in Australia, and in particular try to focus on youth, although there are different services. In Australia, they have massive services infront of thousands of people, and they just had to bring it over to England! The one in England isnt quite as big, but is held in the Dominion theatre, which can still hold a few thousand people, so in that respect it's quite big! It's quite funny really because they dont actually own the theatre, so during the week it's used for the show 'We will rock you' and then on the weekend it's Hillsongs. They have to move though in the Autumn, and still havent found anywhere, but hopefully they will be able to get their own Church. Anyway the services are really lively, and they have their own youth band, which do some of their own songs, and some of Hillsong Australia's. If you also didnt know Hillsong does a lot of music, and releases a lot of albums, and in Australia they are so popular that their last album got to number 1 in the main charts!! Hillsong London have done their own albums, and their last one Natasha Bedingfield did a lot, and is very good!

Anyway the music is awesome, with everyone jumping up and down, and since most of the congregation is youth its very lively. It's just great to see this generation going to Church, and enjoying it. Of course its not just music, and last week Brian Houston was the guest speaker. They often have guest speakers, for example Joyce Meyer was one back in September. Brian Houston is the main pastor of the Hillsong Australia Church, so he's pretty much in charge! He is an amazing speaker and really capitivated the crowd, saying how we must unite together if we are to make a difference. Gary the London pastor who normally speaks, spoke a bit, before some more music! They have such a packed year this year, with Hillsong United coming over in June to Wembley Arena, which is going to be unbelivable as its free and thousands of people can fit in there, also Delirious? are coming again along with many otheres! So if you are ever in London on a Sunday you know where to go ;-) There's 3 services throughout the day and they last for a couple of hours, and well worth going to ;-)

Hope everyone is well! What have you lot been up to? Howard, I agree fully with your comment on the Delirious? post, and thanks for sharing that!

Au revoir
Luke
