This ride was organized by Neil and Pam Costic (R.I.D.E. Because...) and was joined by "Son's of God" and "Crosses of Thunder". There was a total of 15 bikes. Each of us brought school supplies to donate to the young people at the home. A chapel service was held. Several of the bikers spoke and about 12-15 young people went forward for prayer. We are going to follow up to see if we can continue to communicate with the young people that would like to, but in any event we certainly can pray.  It was a good trip and it was nice to come together with other bikers groups for a common purpose. Jill and I did this ride last year and plan to do it every year we can and have set a goal to fill our van with school supplies for next year's ride. So be praying for the kids, next year's ride and what God would have you do. (picutre)

CMA - Greg Lambert, Bob & Patti Karst, Ron & Romona Inskeep attended a car rally at Polaris where they set up a table at the entrance and directed the hot rods to their parking spaces.  We keep lanes clear for the police and fire trucks to get in and out.  We mingled with the crowd and witnessed and handed out tracts.  We made a small impact and have been invited back.  This was a seed planting adventure for sure...

We toured Marble Head, several of the riders went up in the lighthouse. The others toured the museum and went to Nick's to reserve our tables for lunch. To get to Nick's turn right from Marble Head park (rt 163) and continue till you come to the Wall Mart on the left, about 7 miles. Nick's is in the maill next to Wall Mart. We had great food and great fellowship. After lunch, some of us went to the coast guard station for a tour that Jim Furetes had arranged, thank you Jim. Those that went enjoyed the tour and informed the others that they missed something very interesting. The others wanted to head back and stop for ice cream in Mt. Vernon. It was a very good ride and enjoyed by all

From there, after the breakfast bar of course, some went on the long journey home, while others rode to Joe Carson's Harley/Honda dealership near Lancaster.  We sat on bikes and listened to the salesman try and sell Ron Inskeep a new 1800 VTX Retro.  Then we came on home.  What a great day

Planned some rides, set dates and continued our bible study

We rode to to the AMA museum, in Pickerington. Weather was 55 degrees, so some of us rode our bikes and some of us meet up at the museum. It was a very nice display. Afterwards went to cracker barrel to eat

Bob Karst, Jim Furtes and Greg will put together some rides, this Thursday. We also talked about doing Sunday rides where we ride to another church, attend that church then go for a ride.

Jill & Steve will try to get their shirts and do iron patches to see how that will work.

Greg is getting more info on biker Sunday to see if the help they need is in line with our mission.

Our bible study was in Romans, Greg had a lot of notes that he delivered in a quick 10 minutes. Greg will continue the bible study in Romans, so be reading romans and looking for a verse from that chapter.

From Greg's notes:
Our obligation is one that I view in concentric circles of responsibility. The center of our obligation is to God, in self-sacrifice and service. The ripple effect extends to the exercise of our gifts, the service of the brethren, even the kindness to the lowly and our enemies. Beyond this there is the sphere of responsibility which we have to society and human institutions. We are obliged to express our submission to God by being obedient to the government which God has ordained. In addition to legal obligations, such as obeying the laws of the land and paying our taxes, we have moral obligations as well. Even when the state may legalize immorality, it is the obligation of the Christian to abstain from the evils of drunkenness, sensuality and lust. (Romans 13:8-14)

Greg Lambert discussed some events for 2002, 4th of July parade, Johnson City ride, dinner rides. If you have an idea for a ride, please pass it along to Jim Furtes. 

Bob Karst showed a video on rider safety and a discussion was held about the safety rider course that is available.

Terry Woodbury will look into the price of logo embroidered on shirts. 

Steve Chapman is going to add for Christ or riding for Christ  to the logo.

Next meeting is Monday, Jan. 28th
