journey was aimed at religious heritage What was the benefit of visiting such a place? One biker noted. “It helped prove to me that there are different ways to praise God." Another responded with, “I’ll think a little more the next time before 1 judge a person who is different than I am." Tuesday's trek took the small crowd to Epworth Forest and Camp Adventure on Lake Tippecanoe. Rev Karstedt replied that the purpose intended was to “have them (young adults) come to an appreciation of United Methodist history." From there, they traveled to Bashor Home of the United Methodist Church. 6226 CR 15 in

Goshen. Asked as to what struck them the most, a young biker stated, “We were able to see problems that kids have when they have left their homes." Another replied, “It was a good feeling to know these kids have a place where they would seek and find help for their problems," “Cathedral of Creation" was the theme for Thursday's activities as the group wound around the lakes of Barbee, Tippecanoe, Ridinger and others. The goal was simple: To be sensitive to all that God has created, simple to the complex, largest to the smallest, and especially the things that people normally don't think about but would be lost if they didn’t have some of them. The final day's voyage took the group on “The Lift of Christ Ride.” Beginning early Friday morning, they biked to an old barn, where Rev. Karstedt and others gave a brief sermonette on the birth of Christ. Continuing, they arrived in Milford at the bridge south on Main Street that passes over Turkey Creek. The bikers dismounted and went to the bank of the creek. Rev. Karstedt asked the bikers to stretch their imagination and make-believe that Turkey Creek was actually the Jordan River, the site of Christ’s baptism by John the Baptist. Three youths, representing John, Christ and God. gave a short skit pertaining to the baptism. They then sang a couple songs and proceeded on their way west of Milford before returning to town to have lunch at the United Methodist Church on Catherine Street.
