The Christian Reformed Church is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a Sea to Sea cross-Canada bike tour beginning June 23. One hundred and sixty five cyclists have entered, with 97 scheduled for the entire Vancouver to Halifax trek. The event is intended to foster Christian unity and raise money for the church's Deep Roots, New Branches program that supports church planting across the country. Each cyclist has committed to raising $10,000, for an expected total of $1.2 million after expenses. Although no Presbyterians are on the roster that includes eight denominations, celebration rallies will be held every Sunday in cities along the route, where supporters can join with cyclists for worship and fellowship. The tour wraps up Sept. 4. For more information, visit www.seatosea.org. — AM
