Two Quincy churches came together to rock out on Sunday night!

Melrose Chapel United Methodist Church and Union United Methodist Church cobined forces to create a unique worship service.  The service, called a U2Charist (U-2-kah-rist), featured a cover band made up of local musicians.

The theme of the night was "What if..." to challenge worshippers to take the gospel seriously.  Pastors of both churches, Rev. Bob Morwell and Rev. Wally Carlson designed the whole service and Carlson even plays guitar in the band.

Rev. Carlson said the unconventional worship service has a big impact on people.  He also said, "This stuff moves people.  People were standing up and dancing and clapping and singing along.  It was a rock concert.  But it was a rock concert that had really really significant undertones and foundations and overtones."

Worshippers also donated money to "Nothing but Nets" which provides mosquito netting to the poor in Africa, to protect against the widespread Malaria there.  You can donate by logging onto: www.nothingbutnets.net
