UPDATE: Unfortunately Tom has made the difficult decision to discontinue his bike trip following a serious back injury earlier this week. After 1500 miles he will be headed home to Illinois to recover for the winter, in hopes of possibly getting back on the road in the spring. We will still have our pot luck lunch as planned, but with no special presentation. See you then!

On October 18^th we will be welcoming a cross-country bicyclist who is passing through Richmond. Tom Devore, a Church of the Brethren minister, started in Illinois and is zig-zagging his way across the nation, visiting Brethren, Mennonites, and anyone else who wants to hear more of his remarkable story. If you're interested in meeting and talking with him, stick around after worship on the 18^th for a pot luck lunch and time of conversation. Tom is also raising funds for Heifer International throughout his trip. You can read more at www.biking-usa.org.
