Hillsong Church visits the Park School in Yeovil

3:42pm Thursday 23rd April 2009 in News By Steve Sowden

PUPILS at The Park School in Yeovil were challenged by a visit from a dynamic group of musicians from the London church Hillsong.

Hillsong has its base in the Dominion Theatre where there are regular congregations of as many as 2,000 people attending each of the four Sunday services.

Hillsong’s vibrant mix of live music and testimony is already popular amongst young people in London schools, but this was the group’s first visit to a school outside the London area.

Pupils from The Park had previously visited the Dominion Theatre whilst on a visit to the city and have been amazed to worship with so many young people. Hillsong Church aims to introduce people to a living faith, viewing themselves as a community of ordinary folk who seek to embrace our cities and the nation by showing care for all.

The mixture of live music, video and speech was invigorating, punchy and tuneful, but contained the message for their audience: “It’s not about where you are from, it’s about humanity being deprived of the very thing that it was created to do…love.”
