Let's Ride!!...
May 11th is the 2nd Sunday of the month. If you are new to Open Road Fellowship, that's when we jump on our bikes and head out as a group right after church for a nice ride. It's an opportunity for us to grab some good food and enjoy some fellowship as we take some time to get to know one another. The direction we head is always an adventure but geared to provide a relaxing time out on the bikes. Invite your friends; maybe a nice ride might be what motivates them to come to church. Hey, and if you don't ride, don't let that stop you from enjoying the day...just hop in your car and follow along.
North, south, east, or west... no matter where we head, you are sure to enjoy the ride. So, come join us for our next 2nd Sunday ride!
In our songs and prayers, we regularly confess our faith in the "blessed hope" (Titus 2:13) of Christ's return. Yet, many of us still wonder what the promise of Christ's return in the future means for us now. This four-week series, The Blessed Hope, explores the ways in which the promise of Christ has the power to transform our day-to-day lives.
Contained in Peter's explanation and call for patience is the implication that we are called in the meantime to purify ourselves through repentance. Repentance is a difficult task, and thus it takes time. Yet, in repentance, we enter most fully into relationship with God. The time we spend now waiting for Christ's return is time to grow in holiness.
One of the most admirable qualities of a mother is tenacious courage. Too often, we sell mothers short as women—considering them only in light of passages like Proverbs 31 or Titus 2 that tell how to order their households, relate to their husbands, and live their daily lives.
But God created them to be protectors, advocates, and sacrifices for their children. Motherhood asks them to lay down their lives for them—to demonstrate Christ’s sacrifice for them again and again if needed—not because we can save them, but because He can, and He’s ordained mothers' to be light-bearers to lead them to Him.
Everyone whose life has been forever altered by a godly mother or mother figure should celebrate the God of creation who chose that woman to be their mom!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

It's the 1st Sunday of the month... it's time for our Food & Clothing Drive. We can't feed everybody, we're not a homeless shelter, we're not even a food pantry... but we can partner with other ministries to help them accomplish their tasks in what God has called them to do.
This Sunday, bring in a bag of non-perishable food items. We are making a difference in people's lives that are down and out. It may be you one day needing just a little bit of help. Also, go through your closets and look for those clothes that don't fit anymore or you haven't worn in awhile. Bring them in for those who just need a little help.
1st Sunday Food & Clothing Drive... let's make an impact!!

The second coming of Christ promises hope. We grow in confidence as we put our hope in Christ and await His return.
The Open Road Growth Track exists to help you discover and develop your redemptive purpose and live the full life God created for you. The Open Road Growth Track is made up of four steps to guide you through this journey:
Make sure and register here, because Lunch is provided.
Have you recently accepted Christ... if so, let me take a second to tell you congratulations on making the best decision you could ever make. But what now?
Honestly, there are so many things, but here are two essential things. Get a bible and begin to read it. Not just to read it, but to allow God to speak to you through His word, and you'll develop a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. That's number 1... 2nd thing to do is, and this is just as important... Get Baptized... Yes, get baptized... It's what we believe is the next step. Why, the easiest answer is, Jesus did it. He was obedient to be baptized, and so should we.
So if you're a believer in Jesus Christ and you are ready to show the world that you are, make plans for Baptism at the 23rd Annual Brother's Keepers' Burn Run, out at Lake Bisteneau. What... yes, getting baptized at a motorcycle rally.
Sign up, and we'll have a "Dunk" shirt for you. Plan on being there by 8:30 am to get everyone ready. Bring a towel... Bring your family... and you are ready to go! See ya there!
The Brother's Keepers MC 1st-Shreveport chapter is hosting its 23rd Annual Burn Run. Since the very beginning, they've been raising money to support Camp I'm Still Me, the Ark-La-Tex children's burn camp. The goal is to make sure kids who have suffered from burns can "be a kid again."
There will be live music, great food, a trivia run, and the "world-famous" live auction which starts at 12:30 pm on Saturday.
We will be manning an information booth to let people know who we are. Sign up and come out and enjoy the days!
(Rumor has it that Raymond will be the MC for the event)
