Powerpack Service with ...

Hillsongs United .... wooohooo and Pastor Ulf Ekman. Men the chruch is real crowded today. Probably because many christians learn that Hillsongs is coming to City Harvest this weekend. Who are the Hillsongs ?? Haa they are the reknown Christian band from Hillsongs Australia, Pastor Brian Houston's Church. Famous for the music production and strong church foundation.

Today's Service was very different. Compared with the past few exciting events like Weekend Connection, 15th Anniversary Celebration, today's service was extraordinarily special. It's really different and i really thank god for guiding me thru' my ushering and serving the crowd. It was qutie messy at first, when the crowd was released from the doors and everyone was like rushing to get seats. Within 3 min, the whole hall was jam-packed with people. With youngsters and oldsters streaming from all openings of the hall.[excluding the window of cos] So i was like "tien ar" or " oh man". Instructions are kinda conflicting ... but still we manage to hold the crowd at some point .... to ensure smooth traffic and erm .. dunno la. Well i was abit blur at the counting of seats cos people were standing and seating ... Basically our role is to ensure all empty seats are filled and to give a status of the available seats and to guide people around to their seats. So with this mess, things are def not gonna be easier.

MEN ... the praise and worship is awesome. Comparable with Emerge Conference. The singers are simply fantastic. Marvelous. No wonder their CD's sell like hot cakes. Lemme recall , we sang "one way, My desire, More than life, and some praise songs which i nvr heard b4. " Truly the bring up the spiritual atmosphere of the crowd.

Ahhh .... the sermon. It was one of the most amusing... as in humorous- sermon i have ever heard. The pastor was really hippy and hoppy. He really entertained us with his actions and expressions. And he shared alot of deep insights of the bible and the corresponding gifts of the Holy Spirit. I didn't know he was a radical non-christian before. And that how he had an confronting experience with God, who spoke directly to his heart when he was being prayed for. He quickly stood up and ran away from the guy who is praying for him, but he describe how his heart pound, and God's words are repeatedly confronting him. That he is a sinner. Well he went home ... after making sure den no one else is watching him, hid inside his room and started approaching God. And soon enough, he was saved. And how he 1st got baptised by the Holy spirit and started speaking in tongues fervently for 2 whole hours. Ha he said all in a funny way which i dun tink i am good enough to describe what he experience. But truly it was a great encounter. A great entertaining, profounding and eye-opening sermon.

We ended off singing Jewish songs. Men Jewish songs are hard to sing. It can be quite slow and den suddenly we have to start rapping .... wejrbwejbr and ya tat's abt it. A GREAT SERVICE. Too bad i cant serve in the front rows. Can get to see the Hillsongs United Crew much better. =D .. God bless all who read my blog. That is once agian, if u din fall asleep when u reach this point. But den i type until so nice .. surely u must be entertain. haaa dun *fall off yr chair* Okie tat's it . . . . .
