An Unashamed Homage to VIP Treatment at U2.

We’re Church Planters. Which means among many other things that the words Discretionary and Income are rarely uttered in the same breath.

So when we heard U2 was coming to town, we looked at our budget, laughed…cried….and made the choice that it would not be the best way for us to use our finances in this season.

We were cool with it. We had moved on. That is until an old friend of ours – Jess called up with (RED) Zone seats to the show…for that night…for free! On the Floor. 20 Feet away from the stage. 5 feet away from the Runway. What a gift!

God provided a relatively small thing in a way that was bigger than anything we could ever imagine. It was hands down the best concert experience of our lives.

There will be no “Lessons Learned from the 360 Tour”, no “What the Church Could Learn From Bono”. Nope. This post is all about celebrating a great night at a great show, brought to us by our good friend Bono, I mean, Jess.

SPOLIER ALERT – These pictures will make you hate us. We understand. Click HERE to see them all at our Flikr Page.

Love it! I HATE you, God BLESS you. Kind sounds like the churches strategy to deal with all kinds of people for years!

You might want to check if all the Church Planter seats have been taken or not.
Seeing as how almost EVERY U2 song has been covered in church at one point or another, my hunch is that they may already be gone…and that they never even existed.
