Blessing of the Bicycles in Evanston is May 1

Who

Our church invites cyclists from our neighborhood, Evanston and Chicagoland to join St. Luke's main Sunday service for this special annual event. All cyclists are welcome, whether the cyclist is a youngster on a tricycle, all the way up to retirees who are now spending more time on two wheels!

What

Cyclists’ bikes will occupy an honored space at the Nave’s front and during the service cyclists will receive a blessing for many, many more miles of safe travel. Following the service, cyclists and non-cyclists alike can enjoy refreshments and fellowship.

This is a special year as St. Luke’s completed work in November on its beautiful large Nave which once served as the cathedral of the Episcopal diocese of Chicago. This is the first Blessing of the Bicycles in our reclaimed Nave.

Where

The church is 939 Hinman Ave., Evanston (at the corner of Hinman and Lee streets).

St. Luke’s is always grateful for volunteers who would like to help with the event. Please e-mail Rosemary at rbayzer@earthlink.net for further information or if you are interested in helping.
