    Lightbulb SECOND ANNUAL Blessing of the 4x4's! Sunday - JUNE 29 - at 2:00pm

    If you've been in Pittsburgh (or within broadcast range of Pittsburgh TV stations) for ANY length of time, you've surely heard of several area churches that doing a "Blessing of the Bikes" each year. Like these;

    http://storage.cloversites.com/murry...es%20Flyer.pdf

    http://www.cpcriders.org/

    There was even a Catholic Church in the North Hills that I saw on the news blessing motorcylces this past weekend, but now I can't seem to find a link to it.

    At any rate, MY thought is, WHY should the bikers, ahem, hog all the blessings?!?! 4-wheelers need at LEAST as much - if not MORE - blessing, given the craziness that is WHEELING!

    With THAT said... we are looking at doing a first ever (far as WE know!) "Blessing of the 4x4's" in the Pittsburgh area, at Concordia Lutheran Church (3109 Brownsville Rd. - 15227 - Brentwood Borough), on Sunday - JUNE 30 - at 2:00pm.

    More details will follow shortly, but I wanted to get the who, what, where, when, why of this event out there, that folks might plan accordingly. The grounds of the church are pretty big (Concordia owns the whole BLOCK basically), so if you wanted to do a picnic beforehand for instance, that would be possible also. Since this is the first event of its kind EVER, the Rite of Blessing will be the main thing this first time out, but it will be interesting to see where it grows from here!

    There will be NO passing of the offering plate, to put your mind at ease. This is simply a courtesy we'd like to extend to the 4-wheeling community, as our Pastor is a wheeler, and would like to turn his hobby into a blessing for others as well.

    E-Mail or PM me for further details, and I'll post more info as we get closer to the date!

    The church I used to go to has a small group called "Higher Ground" and it is made up of those of us who wheel. We still wheel with them but go to a different church curently.

    Our attendance has certainly been slacking the past few years.... as we've been popping out babies lol.

    My boy's ready to start Sunday school though so we'll be back in the swing of things this coming Sept.

    Exclamation

    GOOD news on the long range forecast right now - looks like a sunny day, and perhaps even a break in the temperatures next Sunday!

    We have a nice grassy knoll for folks to sit on, but for more convenience, you might want to consider bringing a folding camp chair or lawn chair. This shouldn't take but about a half-hour, give or take a few minutes, but if you burn easily, bring suntan lotion - bring sunglasses, etc., as you would do for any half-hour outdoor activity.

    The blessing is ON - rain or shine - but in case of really inclement weather (downpours, lightning, hail), we'll do this in the undercroft (downstairs meeting hall) of the church.

    Looking forward to meeting you next Sunday (June 30) at 2:00pm!
