U2Charist image and resource gallery
4/12/2010
U2Charist is a celebration of God's love with U2 music and a focus on United Nations recognized initiatives such as Nothing But Nets and Imagine No Malaria. Western PA United Methodists have offered several U2Charist opportunities in recent years. The Reply, a band led by the Rev. Bruce Stollings, pastor of Little Hill and Blackburn UMCs, is one band that offers a U2Charist. A live band instead of recorded music is special and rarely used for a U2Charist service. Offer a U2Charist in your community.
