<\/a>U2 Themed Flyer from Heritage Church
(Click to embiggen to full res 300 dpi scan.)<\/center><\/p>\n

A couple weeks ago I received this flyer for Heritage Church<\/a>, one of the local churches which meets in a rented high school facility.<\/p>\n

To quote from the flyer:<\/p>\n

Just what does the biggest band in the world have to say about things like faith, hope, joy and peace on earth? I think if you look closer you’d be surprised…<\/p>\n

Join us this Christmas season for four weeks as we investigate and unpack the music of U2. We’ll explore the themes, lyrics and Biblical messages found in some of their most popular and enduring songs. You will come away inspired this Christmas… possibly with a new appreciation for U2, but more importantly, for the amazing story and meaning of Christmas. Come check us out, if you’re ready to really rock around the Christmas tree!<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Please note that the band U2 will not be appearing at Heritage Church, but their music will be there.<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Looking a bit further, it seems that MTV has picked up on this<\/a>, and it is being called U2Charist<\/a>. Per Wikipedia:<\/p>\n

A U2Charist (also spelled eU2charist) is a communion service, or Eucharist, accompanied by U2 songs in lieu of traditional hymns and sometimes as part or all of the service music.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
