Pacific Coast Ceremonies

It has been a wonderful time here at Vanguard University the past few days. Today we had a time of worship and praise together with some area church families. We had a great praise band leading our worship and our former pastor at Haven Church, Tim Spykstra gave the message to not rely on our own strength and power, but rely on the Spirit of Jesus Christ for the grand endeavor that is before us.

It was great to see Pastor Tim and Patty and TJ again. Tim and TJ road out to the beach with us for the rear tire dipping ceremony and will also join us for the ride out to Redlands on Monday morning, to kick off our first day of riding. I am including some photos of our worship time and of the rear tire dipping ceremony out at Newport Beach. It was a great mass ride of all of us in our cool looking jerseys. We were led by our own motorcycle escort. It is a great feeling to participate in the mass ride. After the tire dipping, we had a time of circle prayer on the beach.

It has been nice on Costa Mesa the past days and has been on the cool side. We have been wearing sweatshirts, as the breeze has been off the ocean. This will change tomorrow as we head inland, and expect the temps to increase.

Tomorrow we ride!! Redlands, here we come!
