Arkansas Church to Hold Easter Services at Bar, Nightclub

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – A fledging Arkansas church will see if distilled spirits can mix with the Holy Spirit this Easter weekend.

A new Little Rock church called "The River" will hold both its Easter services at The Rev Room, a bar and nightclub in the city's River Market. Pastor Shane Montgomery told Little Rock television station KLRT that it's an effort to attract a new audience to his nondenominational Christian ministry.

However, bar employees say it remains unclear whether their liquor license will allow them to serve beer and booze while discussing the Bible on Sunday morning.

If all goes well, the church says it will also like to hold Mother's Day and Father's Day services at a bar as well.
