Church holds Easter service in bar
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - A fledging Arkansas church will see if distilled spirits can mix with the Holy Spirit this Easter weekend.
A new church called The River will hold both of its Easter services at The Rev Room - a bar and nightclub in Little Rock, Arkansas' River Market.
Pastor Shane Montgomery told KLRT-TV that it's an effort to attract a new audience to his nondenominational ministry.
However, bar employees say it's not yet clear if their liquor licence will allow them to serve beer and booze during a Sunday morning service.
The church says it would also like to hold Mother's Day and Father's Day services at a bar.
BEST IDEA EVER. I go to church once a year but if the service was at a bar I would easily consider going twice, possibly even three times. I bet attendance tripled for this thing. I'm even mulling over going to that Kegs and Eggs Mother's Day Service they're having.
