THE bike blessing started in
2006 at the Community Fellowship Church in Bluegrass , Iowa . Jim Olsen pastored this church . God gave Jim , a member of our Pearl City Disciples chapter , the vision to start a bike blessing . The blessing was held there until 2018 .
After Jim retired , the Community Fellowship Church ' s new pastor allowed us to have the blessing one more year but then determined they would not support it moving forward . This left us searching for a new location . A few of our members attended First Baptist Church in Muscatine , Iowa , and approached the leadership about providing the site for the bike blessing to continue . They decided to partner with the Pearl City Disciples and support the event . 2019 was the first year the event was held at the new location .
Bike numbers have ranged from 100-450 , with attendance ranging from 200-800 . A few years ago , we were able to give away AMTRYKE bicycles to physically challenged kids . Seven chapters around Iowa have come in to help and support the event . CMA
Submitted by Craig R . Carey of the Pearl City Disciples CMA chapter # 1235 in Muscatine , Iowa .
