Christmas Spectacular

Since we arrived in Sydney, Tom and I have been attending the Hillsong church just a few blocks from our home. One of the things we have loved about Hillsong is the people we have met, but what is quite amazing is the number of extremely talented musicians there are at the church.

Hillsong has a college that started a few years ago focusing primarily on those with an interest in music. Since Hillsong is known worldwide by their music, they have been able to draw in hundreds of students from all over the world. As you can imagine this allows them to put on quite a performance when needed.

Christmas is one of those times.  Two weekend ago we attended their annual Christmas Spectacular. Every year they take a well known story and put a "Christmas" and "Christian" twist on it. This year the story was The Christmas Carol, and they did an amazing job. (This was the only picture I could find, but at least it will give you a small glimpse)

We also have recently bought the Hillsong Christmas CD (which has been playing in our home on repeat most days of the week). Tom said that "Born is the King is the coolest Christmas song I have ever heard). So if you haven't heard it, you should check it out.
