The Rev. Wesley Savage, minister of young adults for Riverchase United Methodist Church in Birmingham, said the church is planning to begin holding Sunday morning services at a local Buffalo Wild Wings in the hopes of attracting worshipers who might be intimidated by the church setting.

The services have been dubbed "The Stream" and they are being billed in signs posted by the church as "Wings. Prayer. Sports." Post by The Stream at BWW. However, Savage said the restaurant will be preparing to open during the 45-minute services, so no beer will be served during worship. Advertisement "I've had that question come up," Savage said. "We're going to encourage people to stay for lunch, stay for sports. This is part of the partnership. We'll help them with their business because they're helping us."
