The purpose of a "U2charist" service is to praise God using the music and words of the rock band U2 - while providing a message about God's call to rally around the Millennium Development Goals and to Make Poverty History - initiatives which The Anglican Church of Canada, PWRDF and justgeneration.ca support. All are welcome! Please bring a friend or group to help us help others! For more information about the Youth weekend retreat, contact Kate Berringer at 586-6586 or berringer@accesscomm.ca.
