Vacation Bible School - St. Paul's UMC, Cedar Rapids
<p>Kids are naturally curious, and when you’re curious about who God is it’s easy to grow your relationship with Jesus. That’s why, in this 4-part series for VBS, we’re going to engage kids’ imaginations! Kids will not only get curious about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics — but also about the God who created it all! They’ll hear from early church leaders like Paul, Peter, John, and Timothy, who helped the first Jesus-followers wonder what made their stories unique, what gifts God gave them (and how they could use those gifts to serve), what they could learn from others, and how they could spend time with God. Join us June 27- July 1 from 6:00-8:00 pm at St. Paul's UMC (1340 3rd Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids). See you there!</p> 2021-04-23 20:00:00 -0500

Bicyclists of Iowa City Wednesday Night Social Ride
<p>The classic Sugar Bottom Loop workout: Start at Waterworks Park, just north of I-80 on Dubuque Street. Take Linder Road, Prairie Du Chien Road, Newport Road, and Sugar Bottom, and the new trail along Mehaffey Bridge Road to cruise into North Liberty. Then, it's back south on the Dubuque Street Trail to Waterworks Park. Dinner afterward at riders' choice of restaurants. <strong>About </strong><strong>21 Miles. Helmets required. </strong> Notice of cancellation due to weather will be posted on Facebook.</p><p>These rides, for experienced riders, offer fewer stops and an average speed of 13 to to over 18 mph--a bit more brisk than a leisure ride. Slower riders are always welcome to join the group and can easily shorten the route by turning around to retrace the route home at any time. Each weekly ride has a ride host, and lights and blinkies are important as we sometimes ride at dusk or in the dark. We often enjoy beverages and dinner after the ride at a local establishment near the ride start. <strong> </strong></p> 2021-06-13 20:00:00 -0500
