I am incredibly geeked! Through a series of what I would call “God things”, we are launching a new postmodern ministry here at where I serve at pastor and it involves a first – a live u2 eucharist.
U2 Eucharists first started in New York and have spread around the country but they have always involved playing cds and maybe running some powerpoints. I have to be different, so we have a live U2 tribute band – Vertigo – and according to their contacts with other tribute bands, no other band has ever done one before.
It will be live, interactive, and not at all your typical church (we are even moving the pews out). Its all about experiencing God, in music, motion, and senses.
So, if you are in the Chicagoland area, come check out the first of our monthly Nexus worship events on the second Sunday of the month at 7PM. We have other events planned, including a Monday pub for discussion, and a second U2 Eucharist in June which will be outdoors. Also watch for our new website for Nexus, which should be up in the next week.
Here are the vitals for you to map and share with your friends:
