Biker Blessing Given At Mayo United Methodist Church

The Rev. Kathy Altman shares the blessing of the bikers and bikes at Mayo United Methodist Church.

On Sunday April 22, 32 motorcycle riders and their families gathered together with members of Mayo United Methodist Church (UMC) to share a Blessing of the Bikers service. Riders from the local community, Bikers Against Child Abuse (BACA), and the Legion Riders of the American Legion Chapter in Edgewater, gathered together to share stories and receive a special blessing for their safety during this riding season.

“We know the road can be a dangerous place, particularly for those who are often not seen, or they are seen but ignored by other drivers” says Mayo UMC pastor Rev. Kathy Altman. “Our prayer is for a safe season, filled with the joys offered by adhering to the call of the open road.”

Several riders asked for a blessing for their motorcycles as well, as often mechanical mishaps can leave riders vulnerable to the dangers around them. Motorcycle riders and church members joined together for a common cause – keeping our roads safer for all who travel in our area during the busy spring and summer months.
