Church Invasion

Today, I did something different.  I rode with members of the Roadhouse Biker Church and the Black Sheep Motorcycle Ministry for what they refer to as a "church invasion."  Basically, we meet up at the hideout and, as a group, ride out to the predetermined destination.

Today, that destination was a church in Perris, Ca known as Free Indeed.  They manage to have a decent turn out without counting the two-wheeled guests.  I suppose it's due to the excellent testimonies, Word, and music.

I cannot say enough about how excellent the house band was.  They played oldies, but changed some of the lyrics up to incorporate some good old fashioned worship notes.  They had a brass section with a horn and sax.  A man and two women provided excellent vocals.  The women sang with such soul you'd be as amazed as I was if you were to hear them.  Joe Jamez was on the drums.  Keyboard and guitars were also used with such musical perfection.  Our group was on its feet nearly the whole time - only during the offering did we sit.

The ride out was fun.  We had around 35 people in attendance and it made for some interesting navigation through Southern California highways.

After service, we gathered at a nearby diner named Harry's Cafe for some socializing and good food.  The food portions were large and the price was more than fair.

All in all, it was a great day of hanging out and having a good time.
