The annual blessing of the bikes will happen on May 19th following the church service (approximately 11am). There is a planned ride to follow.

EPHESIANS 6:17, 
​“Take the helmet of salvation…” 

Thoughts on helmets from Trinity United Methodist Church

​Helmets are vital in protecting the head from serious injuries.  

I am a bike rider and never ride my bike without a helmet. I never snow ski without a helmet.  Many people have been killed with head trauma when they accidentally skied into a tree -- like famous singer Sonny Bono a few years ago. And I would never drive a motorcycle without a helmet. 

Imagine how much more they are needed in time of battle!  The Roman helmet, like helmets today, protected the head from the attacks of the enemy. The helmet of salvation protects us spiritually from a powerful attacks against our mind from the enemy. Without the helmet, we leave ourselves exposed on the spiritual battlefield.  more
