:: U2charist
Peacemeal will be presenting a U2charist at Test Pattern, 334 Adams Ave, Scranton, on Saturday, Oct. 28 at 8pm. A U2charist is a worship service combining the traditional elements of word and sacrament with the music of U2. We hope to create an ancient-future worship experience that brings the best of the past into creative fusion with contemporary culture. Our goal is not just to tap into the spirituality of U2's music, but to raise awareness about the One campaign and the Millenium Development Goals. All offerings received at the service will be directed toward the Millenium Development Goals through the Episcopal Diocese of Bethlehem.

Our goal in offering alt.worship events is to to explore what some are calling "ancient-future" worship -- blending the best traditions of the past with music, media, and ambience that speak to postmodern culture. We hope to explore some alternative venues for these events such as art galleries, meeting rooms, and outdoor public spaces.
We are particularly interested in inviting artists, musicians, writers, storytellers, and creative people in general to be a part of these services that will push that boundaries of what people expect "church" to be. It is our hope that both those who plan these services and those who attend them will experience Christ's gift to us in fresh and compelling ways.
If you are interested in joining us for alt.worship or another special event, e-mail Josh or Scott, or call Josh at 570-561-7793 for more info.
