If you have a motorcycle, you probably decided to take a ride to enjoy the sunshine, and hundreds of riders did just that..after saying a prayer.

The second annual Biker Sunday brought Harleys and halos together as christian bikers arrived to Blackjack Original Freewill Baptist Church for service.

It's a growing trend across the country as more leather-clad, motorcycle lovers are meeting at churches and are regular churchgoers themselves.

It's an image change that organizers say it the reason for this event.

"We just wanted to get everybody together to get that stereotype that bikers are bad people that they don't go to church and they're trying to commit crimes and do bad thinks, these are good people."
says Co-organizer, Ed Moore.

Riders enjoyed free food, music and fellowship, as well as prizes for the most unique bikes among the bunch.

As a biker I thank David for his positive attitude towards us. At times we bikers get a bad rap. My husband and I both own harleys and we like to think we are respectable. Thanks again David.
