 Throughout the summer, Bishop James Hazelwood will ride on his motorcycle to locations throughout the region as part of his World Hunger Ride, a tour of New England to advocate for the ELCA's World Hunger Appeal. If you ride a motorcycle, if you ride a bike, or if you ride anything of the sort, this is a chance to help emphasize the ELCA's World Hunger Appeal, through stops at places in New England that address the goal of ending hunger worldwide. There are locations in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, and the bishop will visit them all to learn more about what those congregations do, and how the World Hunger Appeal plays a role in their ministry.
The ride, which officially kicked off at Synod Assembly, made its first stop at Redeemer in Woburn, Mass., on June 16, and continues on to the locations listed below. All are welcome.
