Shenandoah

5th ANNUAL SCRIPTURE RUN 2022

ROCKY MOUNT, NC

April 23, 2022.

Oh! What a beautiful day the Lord made!!! It was a beautiful sunny day in the low 80’s, a perfect day for a ride. We are so blessed and thankful for the 43 bikes and 2 cars along with all the riders and church members and friends that came.

We start the day with our Prayer Circle, the biggest ever and were led in prayer by our youth pastor, Zach Zervas. First bikes were out at 10:00 and a second group at 11:00 enjoyed a 60 mile ride through Nash and Wilson counties.

The stops this year included: Harper’s Nursery/Wendy’s Hole in the Wall Boutique, Cyclemax, Flying Iron Harley-Davidson and JD’s Grocery and Grill ending up back at Shenandoah Baptist Church where the rest of the fun began. Each rider was treated to a swag bag this year and then a hot dog lunch with all the trimmings.

We had over 45 sponsors/donators this year with over 60 door prizes and gift cards. We had over $3000 in door prizes and several of the prize values between $100 and $400 to help us in our mission to raise money for the Shenandoah youth ministries and outreach. Don’t want to forget the silent cake auction. We had over 5 items that were auctioned and a couple created quite a bidding war. Thank you to the bakers and the bidders. The first place prize for the run was $100 won by Sarah Brown. The “worst” hand was won by Jason Robinson $50. We also had 50/50 total of $255 with $127 going to James Eason. Thanks to James and Jason for immediately giving back to the YOUTH…..well, they touched it first! Thanks guys. In total, with the run, the door prizes, 50/50, cake auction and concessions, we raised over $5800. We thank each and every person that bought even 1 ticket and we ask God’s blessings so that this money will be used to HIS glory and HIS only.

God blessed us with this idea of a Scripture Run over 5 years ago and it has grown and evolved every year. It is a lot of hard work but the rewards are so great. Many kids will be going to camp that otherwise might not be able to afford to go. If even one life is changed because of all this, then we are truly blessed and thankful. Next year will be here before you know it and we hope you will plan on joining us.
