Hillsong No Other Name Concert

I finally went to a hillsong concert! everytime I wanted to go to one, the dates never worked for me.  When hillsong performed in Pittsburgh, I was not there at that time, and when they had a concert in Korea in 2012 and 2014, I was in the States. My coworker Sojin told me about the hillsong concert and this time I DID NOT WANT TO MISS IT. So I emailed my small group members and kupc members to see if they wanted to go and ended up gathering 8 people to go as a group! The tickets were 38 dollars for the floor seats not the bleacher seats.  Since I've already been to the NY hillsong church, I was expecting something similar but this concert was so much better in terms of engagement of the audience, the sermon / seminar, and the stage performance.  The stage work with the electronics definitely elevated the mood for the concert.

My favorite part of this photo is the cross in the back part of the stage. 


the bleacher seats were all filled as well


Of course, selfie group photo time after the show :)

Do you see that NO OTHER NAME screen behind us?


Broken Vessels (Amazing Grace) - Hillsong (in the No Other Name Album)



Although the concert was super tiring from jumping, signing, raising my arms up the whole time, it was totally worth it.  Giving praise to God for almost 3 hours with hundreds of strangers all in one voice was.. pretty awesome. It was amazing to see everybody in the room cheering and raising their voice for God as one body in Christ. Growing up in a conservative Korean church, this was not a normal experience of worship we get. I absolutely love all the songs from the newest hillsong album "no other name" I have been listening to the album on repeat at work when I am doing experiments and it reminds me every single day why I am sent here, and what I am called to do as a daughter of Christ. Also, I am so blessed that my workplace is super flexible that I am listen to any music I want at any time of the day! Praise the Lord. 

Blessed, 
Minju
