Today we slept through our alarm - oops! But we still managed to make it to church by the early service - which is at 11am! We were excited to attend Hillsong London church. They meet in a theater downtown London. It was a weird experience to take the subway to church this morning. The worship was amazing, and the pastor that spoke was one of the original pastors that started the first Hillsong church in Australia. He had a powerful message from the book of Jude. He led a prayer where many came to Christ at the end of the service - that was super neat to see! It was so encouraging to walk in there and feel at home - like we were with family - yet so far from our home. It was a blessing to see Scott soak it up - he doesn't usually get to sit and take it in without any responsibilities. I think he really enjoyed it. So far this week, we have attended 2 worship services - so very different in style. One was a very traditional, old school Ireland choir driven service - where a choir in robes sang prayers and scriptures probably done the same way for hundreds of years, and the other with loud music, lights, and jumping - but both were focused on God and His goodness - and gave us a time to slow down and focus on His love for us. We are thankful for these opportunities this week - getting to worship with believers across the world from where we usually worship has been one of the greatest things we have enjoyed!
Tomorrow we leave this metropolis of London, and ride a train (under the English Channel I might add) to Brussels, Belgium.
