Sandhills Bike Blessing on Saturday, April 3, 2021. They are located at, 455 Rock Hill Road in Fayetteville, NC. Senior Pastor, JD Tew & Associate Pastor, Bill Johnson were praying and blessing bikes the whole day. They delivered a message and the community showed up in record numbers. Each person, all eager for the blessing as well as the ride.

The bike blessing starts with the pastor(s) and believers joining hands and encircling the bike. The prayers of protection are called by faith. It is truly and experience that is difficult to put into words; the presence of the living God called to anoint the biker and their travels. The glory of heaven, Christ our Redeemer, to be our hedge of protection!

The blessings were numerous. There were so many people present to take part in the vast array of activities, vendors, drawings, prize winners and of course some real good cooking! All this in addition to the individual blessing of prayer that were made for each person. These prayers of request and thanksgiving continued throughout the entire day.

Everyone there was in one accord ready and willing to receive their bike blessing. We also prayed together and for each other. We claimed the warmth of protection and guidance in all our travels. The grace and mercy of our all-powerful God to guide our journeys both near and far. As He will certainly be with us, our rod and staff of protection! Our ever present guide to navigate both the roads of our soul and bike. He is our ever-present strength and worthy to be praised!
