Well, orientation is over. We are officially Hillsong students, with envelopes full of info forms and lamented ID cards to prove it.
I'm sitting next to our hissing George Foreman, watching two chicken breast turn from pasty white to golden brown. Tonight's menu: Chicken Alfredo. What little skills we have learned while helping in the kitchen back home, is truly being utilized now in our own house.
We just got back home from Hillsong. A lot of people back home wonder what the church is like, so I'm going to try my best to describe it....The auditorium is not set up like in any traditional style one will see back home. Imagine a darken stadium set up for a concert with throngs of people pouring in and fanning out into movie style flip-up seats. Over the stage hangs mammoth size projection screens so those sitting way in the back can clearly make out the pastor's facial expressions. Once the music starts, floods of people charge up to the front and form a crowd around at the threshold of the fog and light filled stage.
Tomorrow we are getting out of the house and going to Bondi beach! Classes (they call them Intensives) start Tuesday and go through Thursday for the next few weeks. We have been told the are more or less church services that last all day (8:30am-4pm), but we don't mind cause we are anxious to get out of the house and get busy.
