No Line on the Horizon

Hallelujah! U2 is releasing a new album this November. I've heard that the band is calling the album, "No Line on the Horizon." I love the title. U2 is known for their creative ability to explore the depths of the human soul and include echos of the Christian faith in their music. All of this, while still being a secular rock and roll band.

This past winter, I took my daughter to an IMAX theater in Cincinnati to watch the U23D movie which is concert footage from their tour in South America about four years ago. We both commented on how U2 is incredible in how they can combine rock with unexpected moments of worship for 70,000 screaming fans.

Speaking of U2 and Bono's tireless efforts in raising awareness of the HIV/AIDS crisis in Africa, our present "What Breaks God's Heart" sermon series will focus on this issue August 31. Working to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic is one of four priorities established by the United Methodist Church over the next four years.
