We kind of loosely follow the Revised Common Lectionary, and we do post the Lectionary readings on the Church website if you are interested in the weeks reading for your own reflection or devotion.
According to the church calendar, Sunday was Evangelism Sunday. This is one of those Sundays that we usually don't even mention, except for this year. The theme of our Sunday service was evangelism, the sharing our faith with people we see everyday.
We even had some special guests: some members of the Solid Rock Riders, a local chapter of the Christian Motorcyclist's Association. Bill Schaaf, the groups president, shared a little about CMA, from it's beginning to it's mission, to how the local chapter carries out that mission. He shared that the mission is to "change lives, one heart at a time."
Dave Holbrook, the groups chaplain, then shared about some of the local evangislistic efforts of the chapter, most notably, their presence at the Poag's Hole, a gathering of some 10,000 bikers. Jeff Lawton then shared a little, then sang a song called The CMA Ride.
The real blessing we took from this day was that they have found a way to combine their love for the Lord with their favorite hobby, riding motorcycles. The lesson for each of us is to do the same. Maybe we don't ride, but whatever we enjoy doing, let's use it to reach others for Christ!
