Blessing of the Cycles - New Sweden Luthern Church

[Alejandro]

Hi all,

I'm forwarding along this message from BAC member Marion Martin:

New Sweden Lutheran Church, 12809 New Sweden Church Road, Manor TX 78653, will welcome cyclists from across Central Texas for the 3rd annual outdoor Blessing of the Bicycles service on Saturday, April 13, 2024 at 9 am. New Sweden Church, founded in 1886 and considered the most photographed church in Texas, is a favorite landmark and rest stop for area cyclists. The Church seeks to share a blessing of love, safety, and support for all who ride bikes. 

Make plans to ride in the direction of New Sweden Lutheran Church on Saturday for this beautiful and inspiring event. Tours and refreshments, including homemade Swedish cookies, will start at 9 am. There will be a short service at 9:30 am, followed by individual blessing of bikes. Bike mechanical support, water, snacks, and portable restrooms will be available on site. Everyone is welcome!
