Hillsong 25th Anniversary.

Alrighty.. The Hillsong 25th Anniversary just happened last Sunday on the 2nd of November. They decided to have the event in the middle of the city, so they had it at Darling Harbor (there will be photos of Darling Harbor below) Cool.. Anyway, they set up a stage with 3 wide screens all floating on the water in the Harbor. So unbelievable rite!? You only believe it when you see the evidence caught on camera. Haha...


So the 25th Anniversary started at 6pm sharp with Darlene singing a really nice intro, which I almost missed. Phew.. got dinner at McD and was running back to hear her sing. So so.. after the intro then they had worship la.. Darlene, Reuben Morgan & Joel Houston were leading worship for the event. When they were on the 2nd praise song, suddenly all the sound died and all you could hear were the drums... But thank God we had a supportive crowd that started singing the song and the worship leaders were still so cool, just acting like nothing happened.. Still rocking on the guitars like everyone can hear them.. Haha.. I'll be freaking out man, just like how the production team was freakin' out once the sound died. LOL.. But once the 2nd praise song ended, we had sound again.. Yay!!!

The whole event was pretty cool, we had worship and all but no preaching of the message. Instead they made a powerpoint of how Hillsong grew among the years and some of the leaders in the church came and gave some speech.. They also made a Time Capsule.. I can't really tell you much because I couldn't find a good place to see anything because of my height.. But I got to see the FIREWORKS that ended the night. I would have enjoyed the fireworks more if some ash didn't fall into my eye... *teary eyes* Ahem... Yeah on to the pictures!!

The floating stage.. The stage is the white thingy in the middle..




Yup.. See the instruments all on the stage? The choir and everyone was on the stage.. Too bad I wasn't on Choir..






Imagine this man! When I got there, these people were already there.. I couldn't see anything because of the crowd.. I really liked this event because we had church at Darling Harbor! Imagine that.. all believers coming together to worship God here..






There were even people on the bridge looking down at the event. I was up there looking down too because I couldn't find a good spot, but after McD... even the stupid bridge was packed with people.. I felt like Zaccheus..... except I'm a woman of course...






We were at McD before the thing started and see how pack it was.. Siao wan ah!!





Oh.. These are some my friends.. Let's introduce them from the right to the left... The first one is Sean/Toast (the Indian), Nick, Florian, & Luke!





This pastor was emcee-ing for the night.. The name very hard to pronounce wan so I won't even try..





Just more pictures of the stage.. Those white words were just floating nicely on the water...






So this was the worship time and Darlene was singing the worship songs (this is after the power died)..







Okay picture this.. You are enjoying worship, lifting up your hands and when you turn your face upwards you don't see a ceiling, but instead you see the heavens.. This is what I experienced that day.. So profound & beautiful..





Me eating my McD, worshipping God on a bench so I can look at the lyrics.. Hehe..







Haha this is a good one.. Okay this guy is Chrishan and in his hand is the priceless cassette called "The Songs of Brian".. LOL.. This is from the time where Ps. Brian had to lead worship in Hillsong and he recorded this cassette..


This is the video of the FIREWORKS!!
