| - So sad that we were not happy here. We REALLY tried to see/hear/feel God's presence. Afterall, it had the name HILLSONG!!
Worship: mediocre, but that would have been OK. What really made it difficult to sing was the fact that the person running the worship lyrics on the screen was completely and totally OFF in their timing. I'm not saying I could do this job better. However, I am saying -- train up your team!!! Do not put someone on the lyrics if they are not on pointe. Period.
Message: I was distracted by the fact that the pastors kept reading from their iPads. Two bad habits when speaking publically: #1. Do not say "um." #2. Do not read from your notes. I'm not a pastor, so I can't tell them how to pastor. I will say, as a listener, I was not listening.
Coffee: Jesus loves coffee. Therefore, so do I. Upon leaving the message, I thought I could have a cup of coffee. The ONE pot of coffee in the lobby was empty. EMPTY COFFEE IN CHURCH? I asked someone (wearing a name tag that read: How May I Help You?). My question had two parts. Part A, "Is there another coffee pot anywhere? Part B "Is anyone brewing more coffee?" I was told, "no" to both Parts A+B.
I really, really wanted to love it here!!! I really wanted to call Hillsong my family's home church. Nope. Not going back. Very disappointed. Sad.
