We got ready, then rode the trike to Roberts Park for Faith Riders First Annual Ride and Seek ride. It was a 150 mile ride to 5 different towns/cities. The theme was Veteran Memorials and we had to go to different memorials and write down answers to questions. We hung out together until the ride at 10. We went with Bill and Sabrina because they wanted to go the the Michigan Jesus Movement Reunion at Hopevale church too, so we thought we could do part of the ride, got to lunch at Hopevale and get food from the food trucks, then do the rest of our ride and make it back before 5. We went to Midland first, then to Coleman, then to Bay City. We ran into Wes, Gayla, Ron, Barb, Elaine, Jim and Jerry at that memorial. They had already been to Saginaw and Frankenmuth and were headed Cops and Donuts and then to the ones we had just went to. We headed to Hopevale, met Vikki, Rody, Peyton and Isaac there and ate delicious food. We got to see Bishop Richard Murphy and some other friends. They played music outside while we ate. We met Kathy Wheeler's sister and her husband while we were there and took a picture to show Kathy. After that, we headed into Saginaw to the Veteran's memorial there. It was the nicest one! Then we went to Frankenmuth and then stopped at McDonalds for a bathroom break. We all got ice cream and sat and relaxed for a while. Then we headed back to where we started and turned in our papers. Names were drawn for prizes. We won a $25 gift card for gas. $330 was raised for Run for the Son which was a blessing. They had hot dogs cooked for us and chips for us. We were very thankful for those in Faith Riders who organized this fun ride. It was nice because the weather was in the mid 70's and got to 80 degrees.
We came home and changed, then went to The Michigan Jesus Movement Reunion Concert at Hopevale. Honeytree sang and shared her testimony and it was so enjoyable. We always loved going to hear her in the 80's. Then there was another band that played. Too loud and couldn't understand the words good for that one. Another band called Petra Reunion played. 2 guys from Petra played in it. They did a good job and we could understand the words. Wish they would have played more of their songs we knew. I took Vikki's picture with the two guys. God used Petra to draw many youth to Jesus. After them, Hopevale's worship team played worship songs and that was amazing. A pastor shared the Scriptures and did a great job too. It was a very fun day/night!!!
