70th CHDDA SPRING RALLY

Greetings from C2, we went to the 70th CHDDA SPRING RALLY in New Bern, North Carolina this past Saturday. Remember it use to be in Myrtle Beach, SC. I can only give you my personal opinion, and that is I wish would have saved my money !! It was really sad.... a handful of vendors.....lousy band.....some dirt drags...and nothing else. On the positive side there was at least six Christian Groups there !! Also some local Clubs and one 1% Club. And praise God our National Chaplian PREACHERMAN went up to their President and introduced himself and invited him and his Club to our Church and to our next Biker Sunday!! The Great Commission in action !! I left the Bike Rally and went to downtown New Bern to a car show and took a few pics, also a few at the bike rally. Look and enjoy, God Bless you all...

IT'S OFFICIAL

It's official.. CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS is now a MOTORCYCLE MINISTRY.

We have gone thru the painstaking process of praying, voting and approval and most grueling of all.. acquiring patches!

At first there was some resistance to changing away from a Christian Brotherhood. But after close observation, we noticed that the riding group was turning into just a hangout club.  Guys were driving trucks and cars to the meetings, not going on any of the local rides and basically not taking our club seriously.  Half of them didn't have working motorcycles and didn't care to get them up and running.
Well those times are OVER!  You actually have to own a running motorcycle to join us!  Hah.. imagine that?!

We will always be 'brothers', but the focus is now off ourselves and onto JESUS CHRIST.
We are gearing up for more MINISTRY outreach and being lights in the world rather than a bunch of burned out lightbulbs.

Thank you all who have encouraged us to move forward with this decision and also for your many prayers.
We continue to covet your prayers as we look to God for our daily bread and as we keep an eye out for what HE is doing in our community.. at which time, we will promptly join Him in His work.

God Bless You Everyone,
(Hmmm... sounds like something I'd say around Christmas time?)

3RD ANNUAL BIKER SUNDAY

OK guys you missed a great day of fellowship and food if you didn't make it out to our Biker Sunday. We had great singing by Tanya Davis and Brutha Boogie, great message by our Pastor, and way more food than we could eat !!! Po Boy, what happened my Brother ? Brother Nick and his friend Darlene came down from Charlottsville. My son Jay came in from Va. Bch. Check out some of the pics below.

Wounded Warriors Project Ride - 11 April 2010

Howdy friends!
For all of you that didn't come out last Sunday 11 April - you missed an awesome time.  HILLBILLY took care of registration at Frank's Truck Stop and I (ICEMAN) headed to Bennets Creek Park at sunrise.  We secured a pavilion that had all the facilities we needed for a great cookout.  POBOY lead the 12 Bikes that rode an hour and a half loop thru Windsor and Smithfield VA and back to the park.  We ate hamburgers and dogs, chips, beans, etc. and fun was had by all.  The array of door prizes was vast and the 50/50 was won by a true biker who tossed his winnings back into the pot.  All in all we earned $311.00 for the Wounded Warrior Project.  Frank's Truck Stop also said they would make a $100.00 donation toward the WWP also.  Basically, it was a great day.
Special THANKS goes out to SHOP RAG and WAYNE and POBOY for actually riding their bikes.  Thank you HILLBILLY, SMILEY, PSYCHO and even our hang-around JON for all your help.
God Bless You all and we'll see ya at the next ride.

TWO NEW PATCHES!!!

Welcome SHOP RAG and PSYCHO!
We patched in two new members this past meeting.
Fun was had by all.
( I will post pictures as soon as PSYCHO forwards me them - he was the only one that brought a camera!!!)

We talked about what God is doing in our group, in our city and in our hearts.
Its going to be a great year... time to pull out the bikes and get rolling again.
Winter weather has got us all in a funk and cabin fever has us anxiously waiting for some good riding weather.  I couldn't stand it and have been riding in the cold anyway... Yesterday I rode in the rain just to hear the rumble!

But as I always say... "A bad day on the bike is better than a good day in a cage!"

Guys... pull the bikes out, dust them off, tune them up... read your bible... it's time to see what God can do in our hearts and club and city this year!

2010 - RIDE TO LIVE - LIVE TO RIDE

Well here we go.
Welcome to 2010... time to RIDE!
January TAMA Meeting (Chesapeake VA) was very well attended.
Most of the Tidewater area motorcycle clubs were in attendance representing their 'rides' for this year.
We went over all the rides, some cancelled, some added... ours are all 'GOOD DATES'.

OUR RIDES:

APRIL 4th - Benefit Ride was moved to the 11th.... because the 4th is EASTER SUNDAY.
This is a Sunday ride - so plan to reach out and use this one Sunday to be a LIGHT for Jesus Christ!

AUGUST 8th - Wounded Warrior Project Ride.  I jumped up and said, "That's a good date."  Then when I sat back down, realized that was the run we were going to cancel.  It's far too close to the Combined Christian Ride on July 18th... So.. MY BAD... I will cancel it next month at TAMA.

OCTOBER 16th - Slim Jim Memorial Poker Run.  Good date!  This is going to be a great ride.  Poker runs are tons of fun... IF you plan ahead.

Ok.  That's all folks.
There are TONS of fun rides and runs this year for us to attend and SHINE God's love... so get the dust off your bike and change the oil... get reved up for a great year!!!!
