Chapter 51 of the Road Riders For Jesus in Mount Vernon has its monthly meetings at various members' homes on the fourth Sunday of the month at 3:00 p.m. For more information, please contact Mike at 740-893-3917. We have a short business meeting before taking an afternoon ride. All are welcome, even if you don't have a motorcycle. This chapter of RRJ is welcoming new members to join. Anyone is welcome to come to the meetings, but you have to be an born-again Christian to become a chapter member. The Mount Vernon Chapter is hoping to become an active ministry in this community.
