Together as One

Tonight we went to the Hillsong church Together As One concert recording. Some of you may have heard of the bands Hillsong or Hillsong United. Our church is the home church of those bands. Several years ago the church realized that visitors to Sydney were asking,"What's the church that Hillsong United plays at?" Eventually church leadership changed the name all together to capitalize on the opportunity to reach more people for Christ through the gifts God had given them.
Needless to say Hillsong is a very musically focused church and tonight was the live album recording. Over 11,000 people from our (yeah I just said our) 4 Sydney area locations met for the annual event at Olympic Park in Sydney's western suburbs.
What a unique opportunity to feel the holy spirit. We were blessed to be a part of the service. We love the people at Hillsong church. God is watching over us.

I don't want to fail to mention that we carpooled to the event with Caroline's boss from Northern Beaches Christian Schools. Anne and her husband are members at Hillsong and parents of one of the worship leaders who was on stage tonight, Sam. Just another blessing to have a boss that would be a part of our lives outside of work.

It was also really cool to see the venues from the 2000 Games. I'm sure we will return for some tours soon.
