U2charist

Please mark March 27th on your calendars for a fun, uplifting event – U2charist!  U2charist is a communion service featuring music of the rock band U2.  The music, prayers, and liturgy are

bursting with the message of reconciliation - with the truth that we are to be Christians without borders, called, in the name of love, to be neighbors to all and friends to the least of these.  Please plan to join us at 7:00 pm in Kerr Hall for this free concert featuring the North Carolina band U2FX.  There will be a love offering for Haiti and Disciple Bible Outreach Ministry.
