Anonymous writes "Put on picnic clothes and come to church July 18 to see the Christian rock group the Circuit Riders play during a rock-and-roll outdoor worship service at Memorial United Methodist Church, followed by an energetic concert and potluck spread in the courtyard. Everyone is invited!
The popular Mamaroneck-based band will perform quieter acoustic worship music during the 10 a.m. outdoor service, even teaching the kids a couple of songs during the children’s moment. When worship is finished, around 11:30 a.m., the courtyard will be transformed into a party atmosphere as the Memorial church family and neighbors enjoy a potluck fest, kids games and fun summer fellowship.
Bring the kids! This crowd favorite offers something for everyone: a little rock and roll and a lot of spirit. The kids love to dance to the Circuit Rider beat and the adults enjoy the unique mix of foot-stomping rock favorites and original, inventive Christian tunes.
Admission is free. The concert caps off Memorial’s “Hero Quest”-theme Vacation Bible School weekend for all ages, which runs from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. The $20 donation includes dinner Friday and lunch Saturday.
The Circuit Riders deliver a ministry of encouragement and love by sharing their faith and love of Christ through music. The band has performed at Playland, the New York City Marathon, Hofstra University, the Emelin Theater, the Mamaroneck Harbor Festival, area churches, schools, and pubs, among other notable venues. The Circuit Riders recently released its second CD, “All Things New.”
