Rain couldn’t put the
brakes on church’s car rally
In spite of intermittent rain throughout the day, visitors stopped at Mimosa Lane Baptist Church in Mesquite to see more than 50 cars, trucks and motorcycles on display at the church’s third annual Motorama rally.
The church’s Pit Stop Ministry—a volunteer program that provides basic auto maintenance and simple repairs, particularly for single mothers and needy families—sponsored the event. The church asked exhibitors to make a donation to Texas Baptist Men disaster relief as their entry fee, and the car rally raised $640 for disaster relief.
Texas Baptist Men disaster relief volunteers from Dallas Baptist Association gave away 330 hot dogs, and as visitors learned firsthand about TBM’s disaster relief ministry, many searched out organizers to make a donation, George Felker of Pit Stop Ministry noted.
