The Cow Creek Classic & Ride:well Ride

This is the 3d year that the oaks has teamed up with the Cow Creek Classic of Waxahachie and raised awareness for the Ride:well tour and Blood:water mission.

The Cow Creek is on Saturday the 26th of June. It starts at 730am. If you are a local rider you can go to the ridewell website and register to ride. The registration is $20 and then come out and join us for a great ride around Ellis county. If you are not local but would like to change the life of an African you can do that on the Ridewell site. Make sure you sponsor one of the cyclists riding: Sherri Bray, Christian Bray, or myself.

We also will be having some other very cool events in Red Oak to raise awareness for the ride:well tour and blood:water mission. The men & women who are currently riding their bikes cross country will be with us for these next two events. You will have the opportunity to hear their stories and meet them first hand.

On July 1st there will be a concert and art show at the oaks fellowship. You will have an opportunity to give money and also to bid on artwork from local artists. All the proceeds will go to ride:well and benefit their work in providing clean water in Africa.

Also, on July 3d at the oaks we will have a water:walk. We will walk 1 mile with empty water containers and then walk back with full containers. This gives us a very small idea of what most Africans have to do on a daily basis to get 'clean' water to drink or to us for cooking. We did this last year and it was an amazing experience. We forget how blessed we are in this country.

We hope to see you at one of these events!
