Kidsfest Report #1

This post may have a somewhat formal title but the contents will be anything but formal. God pretty much exceeded our entire teams expectations and blew us all away!

This past Wednesday the whole of Hillsong Kids for our two main worship centres and our extension services got together for a huge kidsfest and to record our third album. We had been working hard to get as many kids there as possible to make it a fantastic day and most of all did not want our church kids to miss out on the recording.

Long story short… on the day, hundreds of extra parents and kids turned up and registered for the day that morning! We had over a thousand ‘extra’ people at the event, which caused a number of things to happen:

1. We ran out of sausages for lunch and had to go out and buy more.
2. The atmosphere in the auditorium was electric!

You will see it on the DVD when it is released in early December (Australian release date, Feb 07 worldwide), but it is the most humbling and awe inspiring sight to see thousands of children worshipping Jesus.

As a team we really feel this recording is significant. Churches gathered from all over Sydney and the State of New South Wales, and thousands of children were there representing a generation of children that, by the grace of God will be followers of Christ for the rest of their lives.

Yes, the album will most likely acai berry cheap be called ‘Supernatural’, which makes a trilogy of ‘Super’ albums. ‘Jesus is my Superhero’, ‘Super Strong God’ and now ‘Supernatural’… No this was not planned But is a happy coincidence as the first track on the album is called Supernatural, and none of the other songs really stood out as a album title!

So now we have the ‘Super Series’, signing of the first chapter in our journey to resource the church with praise and worship music written for (and even by), God’s children.

Coming up in report #2, maybe some pictures and stuff…
