Meeting and Ride Results

We had our first meeting and ride this past Saturday. Although we started slower than I had prayed for, I am encouraged that there is interest in the ministry and that we will continue to build upon this start.

The Fellowship Riders Florida Everglades started their monthly ride from our church parking lot at 9:00 a.m. in a show of unity and support. We had a great time of fellowship and I thank each rider who came for their support. They then went ahead for their ride and devotional while we stayed behind for our organizational meeting. But it was not all talk!

We had bagels and coffee as we discussed the ministry and group riding safety. At about 10:30 a.m., we left the church and rode to Clewiston to meet up with the Florida Everglades group at the Tikki Bar and Restaurant for lunch (they have great hamburgers!). We all met up at 12 noon and had a great time talking and eating. We then rode back home at around 2:00 p.m.

We did hit some rain on the way back...O.K., we hit a lot of rain on the way back. But I am happy to say that everyone made it back safely and cleaner. At least it was a great way to wash all those Lovebugs off the bikes without breaking any water restriction laws. I took pictures and will be posting them in the next few days. In the mean time, click on the Florida Everglades link on our blog to access some pictures there.

God bless!
