Join other bicycle enthusiasts of all skill levels for an enjoyable experience of pedaling the beautiful lake and farmland region of southern Michigan and northern Indiana. You will be supporting the mission and service of Mennonite Central Committee (MCC). Terrain is rolling and flat. Fellowship and worship included.
This year's mission focus: Water for the Future in Bolivia For families in the area of Potosí, Bolivia, water shortages are a very real threat. MCC is working to pipe spring water from the mountains for household use and irrigation. Gifts to MCC will also support local conservation efforts like tree planting. Investing in this community helps to protect water sources and land, while reducing the need for people to migrate. Protecting areas at high altitude above natural springs also helps to ensure that communities have sufficient water. Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), a worldwide ministry of Anabaptist churches, shares God’s love and compassion for all in the name of Christ by responding to basic human needs and working for peace and justice. MCC envisions communities worldwide in right relationship with God, one another and creation. MCC celebrated its centennial year in 2020. Sample ScheduleSchedule subject to change.
