Blessing of the Bikes | Saturday, at 1:30 pm
Rejoicing in God’s beautiful creation and seeking to promote healthy, sustainable lifestyles, ELPC will host a Blessing of the Bikes service. People are encouraged to ride their bikes to ELPC and gather on the Penn Avenue side for a time of prayer, dedication, and celebration. Non-bike riders are welcome!
Participants of all ages can take part in a short ride up to Highland Park and back. There also will be refreshments available after the blessing service, and representatives from BikePittsburgh and the “Healthy Ride” BikeShare programs will be present.
Join us for this special intergenerational, congregational event.
