Bikers revved up and headed to Kindersley Alliance Church for the 2nd Annual Biker Blessing on Sunday morning, June 15. The service started at 10:30 a.m., followed by a potluck lunch. Kickstands went up and the bikers headed off to enjoy the camaraderie of the open road.

“The inspiration for this event came from my personal involvement with the ministry of the Christian Motorcycle Association,” Pastor Lionel Moffatt explained. Members of the organization attend and promote many different types of motorcycle events and enjoy the camaraderie of riding with others.

After lunch, Pastor Lionel blessed the bikers, praying for safety over each rider during the riding season.

“We pray that during the time on their bikes, the riders would enjoy the creation God has provided,” he added.

This year, the group followed the highway to Unity, Wilkie, Biggar and Rosetown, stopping along the way for a meal before making their way back home.
