Yolla Baptist Church Biker's Church
11th April 2010

At Yolla we had about 20 CMA members turn up for this event, some braved the showers, some came by Tin Tops. The congregation were all in, seated and singing when 5 bikes drove in through double doors 2 to the front and 3 in the rear of Church.

The program of singing with Ivan Jordan the Pastor of the Baptist Church, then some church notices from Church Secretary and then it was over to CMA to run.

Our Chaplin Bob Mellows opened the service in prayer then the President, Graham Neasey welcomed every one and gave a brief description of how CMA started, talked about gold coin donations and what we achieved. Also refered to one of our members' trips to Cambodia with money and supplies for orphanages. A bible reading was given by Maryanne Midson then a testimony from Richard Mc Loghlan. We then had a Panel up front with 5 CMA members and was asked questions about CMA and why we are involved in it. Next a report by Stuart Midson on the National Run to NSW and Peter Jopson gave a report on how he became involved, after seeing so many bikes on the toy run. Ivan finished up with a devotional message and closed the meeting in prayer.

Theres more !!

After the service there was a bbq lunch on for everyone and the food was great!! Special thanks to the Yolla Men who cooked downstairs and Ladies who provided finger food, sandwiches and whole table of sweets - we thought we were at a wedding breakfast.

We thought that as the Church was celebrating 100 years of service to the community it would be fitting to get a photo of the bikes and riders in front of the church. Pastor Ivan said they have one with horses lined up in front of the Hall from the 50th celebration.
