South Py church to start motorcycle ministry

SOUTH PYMATUNING TOWNSHIP — South Pymatuning Community Church, 3400 Tamarack Drive, is starting its new “Sons of Aaron” motorcycle ministry at 6:30 p.m. Wednesdays beginning May 6 and running weekly through mid-October.

A 20-minute outdoor Bible study at the church’s covered picnic pavilion and a group prayer time will precede a group ride starting at 7:05 p.m. The rides will cover 30 to 50 miles.

All bikes and bikers are welcome, but not booze, drugs or gang colors. Participants can just show up for the weekly rides if they so desire. There will be a recovery vehicle (a vehicle with a trailer) for each ride. 

There also are plans for a bike rally at the church, some week-long trips and excursions on Saturdays to Kinzua Dam, Elk County, Nelson Ledges Park and elsewhere.
