Circles on a Mission Bicycle Ride is an opportunity to share the roads of Beauregard Parish while raising funds for the Methodist Childrens Home of SWLA. The residential home provides comprehensive therapeutic services for children with significant emotional and behavioral needs. For more information on the children's home visit http://www.lmch.org/.
Our volunteers will ensure that your experience is fantastic. There will be support vehicles and plenty of snacks along every route. When you cross the finish line, a hearty meal will be provided.
The start time is 8:00 a.m. from the First United Methodist Church DeRidder on Saturday, May 16th. Please make sure you have a properly fitting helmet. If you have additional questions, please call the First United Methodist DeRidder office at 337-463-4491 or visit the church website https://fumcderidder.org.
" but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint" (Isaiah 40:31).
