Bikers Sunday
We started off our first Bikers Sunday with Bro Wynn at Cornerstone CLC in Landisville
What a great time of fellowship! We gathered together in the name of Jesus and shared the love of the Lord with those that didn't know Jesus or who wanted to know more.
In May we had our second Bikers Sunday at Apostles Doctrine Church and even though it rained it didn't dampen the spirit of God! The music was great and the food was terrific both spiritual and earthly.

We had an outreach in Central Jersey at Bro Postells

VFW Spaghetti Dinner
ASR members supported the VFW by attending their spaghetti dinner at Rte 50 in Mays Landing, NJ. We had a great time of fellowship and comaraderie.
The VFW supports Azuza StreetRiders and Apostles' Doctrine Church not only in donations but in the use of their facilities. We hope to continue learning from the life experience of those that fought for our country in the past as well as those that continue to fight for our freedom in the future.
In this months meeting, Extor Diaz-Road Captain, covered safety guidelines. What we need to do when riding together as a group and hand signals that are to be used. We want everyone to use the same signals so that there is no misunderstanding while on the ride. Every person that rides with ASR of NJ must sign a liability waiver prior to riding and must learn the hand signals. A copy will be provided to everyone and a signed copy msut be returned in order to participate in upcoming events.
February
Valentine's Day Meeting
We had a great meeting and have made plans to improve our general membership monthly meetings. There was a great response to our new website and a new fire that has engulfed our spirit to reach out and bring in souls to the truth that we know and the scriptures tells us about. We truly believe that this is the year that we will see our ministry increase in members and souls saved.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations;...Matthew 24:14
Don't forget to wear your backpatch. It's a great witnessing tool!
We will be starting Bikers Sunday on April 26th and it will be held at Rev Gary Wynn's church at 321 W Flower St, Landisville, NJ and on May 3 at Rev Tim Getting's church, "Apostles Doctrine", at the VFW in Mays Landing on Rte 50.
I found this video on the Azuza StreetRiders website about how the First Pentecostal Church in Jackson, MS hosts a "Biker Sunday". I think you will enjoy it and get some great ideas on hosting a "Bikers Sunday".
Pause the music at the bottom of screen so you can hear the video.
January
Family Luncheon
We had our monthly meeting on January 17 at the home of Artie and Debbie in Wildwood. We started out with a great buffet of home cooked food which was then followed by our meeting.
Sorry, no brave souls road their bikes to this meeting. Not at 9 degrees! However, that didn’t seem to stop the Polar Bear Club from jumping into the ocean this year.
Thank you for a great time of fellowship!!!
December
Gift Run Dec 25, 2008
Our monthly meeting was on December 13 at
9:15 am and some brave souls actually rode their motorcycle to the meeting. (Boy! It sure was cold ). When the meeting was over we went to breakfast and then returned to the church to wrap
presents for our Gift Run on December 25. Yep!
That’s right Christmas day.
When we arrived at the shelter in Vineland on Christmas Day, the children could be seen with their faces pressed against the window, watching as Santa and his helpers arrived on their motorcycles. The response was overwhelming and it was great to see all the smiling faces of the children, women and men as they received their gifts. We ended the gift giving with a circle of prayer and I could imagine hearing the angels rejoicing as these souls reached out.
When prayer was done we gave a newsletter to the adults, with a list of all the churches that support Azuza Street Riders, letting them know we would continue to pray for them.
We need to be prepared for the calls of help that may come our way. These souls need a lot of love and encouragement so they will know that God has not forsaken them in their hour of need.
