    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://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!
