*Back on March 31 * Hi everyone! Tuesday Night Skates are in full effect! Meet every Tuesday outside of the NOMA-Galladudet U Station at the North entrance (1305 2nd St NE). We will head out at 7pm sharp for an 8 mile skate followed by pizza! We'll skate up the Metropolitan Branch Trail to the Ft. Totten Metro station and back down the trail to M St NE for pizza at Andy's. See ya there! This skate is led by Naroa, Ryan, and myself. 🛼 This ride is BEGINNER FRIENDLY! While the full ride is 8 miles long, you have the option to tap out at one of the three red line metro stations along the route in both directions. You'll also have an opportunity to learn new skills and practice drills with the skate leaders at our regroupping spots along the route. The tap out points are as follows: 2 miles: Rhode Island Ave Metro 2.5 miles: Brookland Metro 4 miles: Ft Totten Metro 6 miles: Brookland Metro (on the way back) 7 miles: Rhode Island Ave Metro (on the way back) 8 miles: Andy's Pizza This is a great way to test and build up your endurance while skating! At least one of the skate leaders will skate at your pace, so you'll never be left behind. Join us at Andy's Pizza afterwards for a FREE slice of pizza with the purchase of any alcoholic beverage or N/A lemonade!

While the famous cherry blossoms are around the Tidal Basin and Hains Point, the crowds there are truly stunning, it just isn't practical to RIDE there. (Our Tidal Basin cherry blossom rides are ride to the site, park, and walk around). Lucky for us that there are other collections of blossoms around the area. One of the best is up in the Kenwood area of Bethesda. Kenwood hosts around 1200 trees that were planted in the 1930s and 40s. The route is a loop starting at Fletcher's Cove uphill along the CCT to the cherry blossoms in Kenwood (mile 4) and coffee at Simona Cafe in Bethesda (mile 5.6. After coffee we ride through Chevy Chase and down to Beach Dr in Rock Creek Park and on to the Rock Creek Trail. We exit at P St over to 31st St and downhill to Water St and the CCT **++++++++++++++++++++** **The Meeting Spot:** **++++++++++++++++++++** [Fletcher's Boathouse/Abner Cloud House](https://www.nps.gov/choh/planyourvisit/fletchers-cove.htm) (Toilets available at the start) We will be in the parking lot across the canal 4863 Canal Rd NW Washington, DC 20016 START GPS: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/8N5tAQafLTTdd5oKA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/8N5tAQafLTTdd5oKA) **++++++++++++++++++++** **The Ride after the Ride:** **++++++++++++++++++++** Is the Coffee Shop within the Ride [TBD]: **[SIMONA CAFE](https://simonacafe.com/#locationss)** 4520 East West Hwy Bethesda, MD **++++++++++++++++++++** **Ride Level Chart** **++++++++++++++++++++** NoVA CBG tries to accommodate all levels of cyclists by offering different types of rides.

**Join the District Cycling Collective for a scenic spring ride through some of the DMV’s best cherry blossom spots. This 40-mile loop takes us from DC out through Hyattsville and College Park, circling Lake Artemesia before heading back through the National Arboretum and along the Anacostia.** **Expect a mix of city riding, smooth trails, and a few rolling sections to keep things interesting. The Arboretum stretch brings some short climbs, but nothing crazy—just enough to wake the legs up.** **📍 Distance: ~40 miles** **⛰️ Elevation: ~700 ft** **🛣️ Surface: Mostly paved** **🌸 Vibe: Scenic, social, steady pace** **🚴🏽‍♀️ Rolling 10 am sharp!** **This is a great ride to enjoy the blossoms, build endurance, and roll with the crew. We’ll keep things together, but come ready to ride.** **Community in Motion.** **Link to route.** **https://ridewithgps.com/routes/54408449**

Let’s have a leisurely walk to see what is blooming. Plants and trees are exploding everywhere. If anyone is interested we can go to The Stained Glass Pub which has half price pizza on Tuesdays. Let’s meet to the right facing the visitors center.

*"People don't just die like that. And it's a closed coffin. Isn't that strange?"* Tragedy strikes the family of journalist Reiko Asakawa when her niece Tomoko dies suddenly under unexplained circumstances. As Reiko begins investigating rumors of a cursed artifact tied to her death, she discovers the legend is all too real — and that she has only seven days left to live. Turning to her ex-husband Ryuji for help, the two race to uncover the origin of the curse and find a way to stop it before time runs out. Hideo Nakata’s *Ringu* strips horror down to one simple essential: the dread of inevitability. With its muted tone and deliberate pacing, the film creates a pervasive sense of unease that never fully releases its grip. **NOTE: There is a "no late arrivals" policy. RSVP only if you intend to arrive within 20 minutes of the event start time.**

PawsUP for David and Brick for originally suggesting this awesome meetup and our dogs love it! -Dumbarton Oaks/Montrose Park in Georgetown -Meet at the entrance off of R st, on the East side (closer to the cemetery) -Plenty of street parking in the area -Bring water and a ball for your Aussie This park is a very large open field, that is very dog friendly. Tons of space to run and chase. Most if not all dogs are off leash. Occasional runners and kids (there is a playground), so keep that in mind. There is also a trail inside with a stream that the dogs love to play in.

Apostolic Word Of God Church Freewill Prophetic Worship Service. Apostle Dr. David and Prophetess Dr. Marguerite Carter are inviting you to join our Sunday Worship Services. Optional Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83705862326?pwd=OVZHMFB6U0lrOUlIT1gxSDZ3c2w1QT09 Meeting ID: 837 0586 2326 Password: 667084 Optional one tap mobile +13017158592,,83705862326#,,,,,,0#,,667084# US (Germantown) +13126266799,,83705862326#,,,,,,0#,,667084# US (Chicago) The Purpose Of Our Worship Of God The purpose of our worship is to glorify, honor, praise, exalt, and please God. The nature of the worship God demands is the prostration of our souls before Him in humble and contrite submission. Jesus says in John 4:23-24, "But the hour is coming, and now is when true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth."It doesn’t say we can worship God any way we want, but we "must worship Him in spirit and in truth". The word "must" makes it absolute. There is no other way we can worship God and be acceptable to Him. God seeks true worshippers, and He identifies them as those who "worship Him in spirit and in truth". Worshipping God in spirit means that it must be done from the heart. Worshipping God in truth means that it must be done according to God has specified in the Bible. Come with Expectations: Expect to experience the Presence of the Lord. Follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and flow in the spirit. Expect "Soaking Time" This is your personal time seeking the Lord while listening to prerecorded music, as directed by the Holy Spirit. Come 15 to 30 minutes early for soaking time. Expect an atmosphere of freedom to worship and liberty in Christ Jesus. Expect the Holy Spirit to administer Spiritual Gifts in the Body of Christ: The Word of Wisdom, Word of Knowledge faith, gifts of healings, working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, divers kinds of tongues (languages), interpretation of tongues (languages), 1 Corinthians 12. Expect singing and praying in the spirit with understanding, 1 Corinthians 14:15 Expect to be filled with the spirit, speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, making melody in your heart to the Lord. Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5:18-20 Expect anointed teachings/preaching of the Word Of God. Expect to lay prostrate while seeking the Lord (bring a throw blanket). Note: The above is freely administered by the Holy Spirit, subject to change, and is not all-inclusive. There is much more, but cannot be written here. Remember God sent you here for a purpose. Blessed be God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. Ephesians 1:3 We love you in Jesus's name.
