We left at about 9.30 to make the 10.30 service and amazingly enough, we were actually early for church! In London! Where it takes forever to get you anywhere! :)
So we decided to go to Starbucks - Dion had his usual, a latte, I had a caramel hot chocolate (yummy!) and Karen had a mango raspberry fruit drink. I'm not up to date with all these new-fangled drinks so I don't know the correct names or the Starbucks lingo :)
Karen pioneered that mango raspberry combo and the people working there kept checking, "are you SURE you want that? We've never done this before so we don't know if it'll be good together" and she was, "yeah, it'll be fine" And it was delicious. So if you're at a Starbucks, get them to make you a mango raspberry fruit drink, a la Karen Stally :)
So here we are in front of the theatre where Hillsongs has their services. I love that there's Queen stuff on a church building - so cool.
Karen and Dion and London's famous red telephone boxes
The underground station right THERE at the church - how convenient
Karen and Marcia in front of Bar Salsa - the place you must NOT go to if you want good food at great value...£25 each - enough said :)
Now my impressions of Hillsongs
Loved...
Big church with lots of people
Wonderful worship and sound
Let you take Starbucks into the auditorium
Excellent greeters and ushers
How soon they start marketing their events. We were there on 4 May and they were already marketing a conference a year away!
Not great...
Bad directions when I needed to get to the loo which was like 2 flights up and FAR, far away *grrrr*
Anyway, there was a guest speaker, Priscilla Schirer, who spoke on hearing God's voice. This was just outstanding and I took pages and pages of notes. The only thing keeping me back from buying CDs and books was the dreaded baggage allowance...
