The seventh annual ride or walk, sponsored by the Nebraska United
Methodist Men is a chance to have fun and also support the UMM
mission project. It is open to men, women and children wanting to
help others, even if you don't want to ride or walk.
Bikers: May 24 - TaHaZouka Park, Norfolk - Check in, breakfast at 7
a.m., main departure 8 a.m. Lunch on return from the ride. The Bike
Ride is open to all interested riders of all skill levels because the
rider determines their distance by picking a point to ride out to
from Norfolk and then return. Riders less than 18 years of age must
be accompanied on the ride by a responsible adult. All riders are
required to wear safety helmets.
Walkers: May 24 - TaHaZouka Park, Norfolk - 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. - Check
in and walk from Norfolk, Battle Creek, Meadow Grove, Tilden or
wherever you choose! Leaving Norfolk there are a couple miles of
concrete path following the Elkhorn River that would allow wheelchair
participation.
Registrations needed by May 13. Forms available in the church office.
Do you want to help but you don't want to ride or walk? Then just
send a donation check to the Registrar, payable to Nebraska UMMen and
it will be distributed to the UMM Mission Programs which include:
Nigeria-Nebraska UM Partnership, Society of St. Andrew hunger relief
in America, Nebraska VIM disaster response, 10-10-10 Missionaries in
Nebraska, Heifer Project, UM camps in Nebraska, youth ministries,
jail ministry, ethnic ministries, rural and urban ministries,
