Introducing Sponsors and Organizers
When we started to explore the possibility of a U2Charist worship experience, we were clear that it wasn't just about the music (although the music is very powerful!). And we didn't want it to be a novelty worship experience.
Our conversations and prayers continued to bring us back to the message - justice for the poor and oppressed. As Bono and U2 sing, "where you live should not decide whether you live or whether you die."
Our purpose became helping people learn about the promise of the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) and the possibilities that emerge when people connect with ONE common voice...VOICES AGAINST POVERTY.
And so we reached out to other groups for help and encouragement...to add more voices to ours.
We are thankful to these sponsors for their enthusiastic support:
