Saddlebag Riders To Support Wounded Warrior Project By Dayna M. Reidenouer
Nate Brubaker recently joined the Saddlebag Riders, a team of Motorcyclists for Jesus Ministries, after reading a newspaper article about the group. “It said, ‘If you love Jesus and you love motorcycles, come on out,’” Brubaker recalled. “My wife and I will take any opportunity to meet people. She said I need to go do this, and I agreed.” Both Brubaker and his wife, Jessica, are motorcycle enthusiasts, and they have participated in several events hosted by the Saddlebag Riders. They also plan to be part of the next activity, which will be a Wounded Warrior Project fundraising ride on Saturday, Sept. 22, from 2 to 5 p.m. No rain date has been set. Check-in for the ride will open at 1:30 p.m. at Bethany Evangelical Congregational Church of Creswell, 1165 Letort Road, Conestoga. The See Saddlebag Riders pg 11
