Encounter Church Plans Biker Saturday By Dayna M. Reidenouer
Encounter Church, 300 Hideaway Drive, Quarryville, has regularly hosted an annual motorcycle ride and picnic. Typically, that event has happened on a Sunday, when folks are encouraged to ride their motorcycles to church, then go on a ride and enjoy a picnic following the service. Thanks to the church now holding services on Sundays at 8:30 and 10:45 a.m., the motorcycle event has been moved up a day. Biker Saturday will take place on June 29. A bike show will run from 1 to 3:30 p.m. A ride will start at the church at 3:30 p.m. and return by 5 p.m., at which time there will be a cookout dinner. Everyone is invited to stay for Encounter Night, a worship event, at 6:30 p.m. “(Having) two services has changed
the landscape for this,” said senior pastor Stuart Osborne. “But we have had the car show on Saturdays for five years, (so it is not unprecedented).” Church member and motorcycle enthusiast Tom Steinhauer has designed the route for the ride. “We’re going to take all sorts of back roads to Susquehannock State Park and across the river,” he said, noting that the turnaround will be the Urey Overlook at Otter Creek in York Furnace. The cookout will feature burgers, hot dogs, baked goods, and snacks. All the food will be provided by the church at no cost to guests. Motorcycles with two and three wheels will be welcome at the show. Door prizes, most of which are related to motorcycle care, will be awarded during the show. A few will also be distributed during Encounter Night. See Biker Saturday pg 9
