Sept 27th             Harbor of Hope Pentecostal Holiness Church  Youth Pastor invited us to come down and tell the kids who we are , what we do and to take the kids for a ride around the Church. I think we received more of a blessing than the kids did.
We park at the back of this very large church, where the kids have their class roomSome of the kids who arrive early came out to meet us and look at the bikesWe all go into the classroom, where the parents sign release forms so the kids can ride , and the kids are told the rules of riding on the back of our bikesWe take the kids outside and start riding them around the very large parking lot that goes around the churchEven the adults started taking Rides. They couldn't let the kids have all the FUNI can yell louder than you can, oh no you can't. This was a blessing for the whole family to enjoy.This Church member has never rode on a bike before, this is her very first time, and she loved it.Ricky and Lil Bear taking a breakBack to the class room for refreshments, as the sun was going down. The kids sung some songs as we all worship and thanked our Lord for such a blessing time.
