Blessing Of The Bikes (And Riders) May 16 At Faith

Get ready for summer riding with the community Blessing of Bikes (and riders of all ages) on Saturday, May 16, at Faith Lutheran Church.

Hot dogs, popcorn, games and a bike parade will celebrate the arrival of spring and look toward the beginning of summer at Faith, 16511 Hilliard Road (across from Harding Middle School).

The celebration begins at 11 a.m. and culminates with the blessing at 12:45 p.m.

Bring your bike – from tricycles to racing cycles – and bring a friend to learn about bike safety and licensing – and have fun! There will also be an opportunity to learn about Faith’s after-school programs, including an arts camp for grades K-5 and clubs for sixth graders and for students in grades 7 and 8.

The party will also include the blessing of a new bike rack installed at Faith by Metro Metal Works, a social enterprise program of Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry.

For more information, contact Faith at 216-226-6500 or visit its website at faithlakewood.org or visit on Facebook at facebook.com/faithlakewood.

Mark Rollenhagen is the pastor of Faith Lutheran Church, Lakewood.
