Paul “Earthquake” Moore’s
12th Annual Weekend of Peace
Motorcycle Ride and Roller Skating Party
Peace will be the major focus for one special weekend next month when area motorcyclists, roller skaters and special guests once again join Paul “Earthquake” Moore at his 12th annual Weekend of Peace, from May 20-22, 2011.
All residents are invited to attend the events - a motorcycle ride, roller skating party and church service -Moore said he designed to bring peace to Philadelphia’s neighborhoods and raise money for bullet proof vests for members of the 12th Police District Chaplains Program.
The opening activities are from 5-7:30 p.m. on Friday, May 20, 2011, at the Elmwood Skating Rink, 71st Street and Grays Avenue, where youth and those young at heart are invited to skate for peace. The following morning at 11 a.m., members of the State Burners Motorcycle Club joined by Philadelphia Deputy Police Commissioner Stephen Johnson and other special guests will line up at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue for a symbolic trek up North Broad Street to Cheltenham Avenue. The idea, Moore said, is to cover Philadelphia from one end to the other, in a quest for peace.
Once the bikers reach Cheltenham Avenue, the group will turn around and motorcade back to the stadium area. A reception will follow the ride at the State Burners’ Motorcycle Club House, in the 5200 block of Woodland Avenue in Southwest Philadelphia. Bikers from throughout the Greater Philadelphia area are expected to participate.
The Weekend of Peace will close on Sunday with an 11 a.m. worship service and silent vigil at New Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church. Moore is an associate pastor at New Fellowship, which holds its services at the Elmwood Skating Rink while their new church is being constructed. The service is for Philadelphia Police officers killed in the line of duty and to their families.
“The deaths of those men and women in blue, and of other Philadelphia citizens, are grim reminders to all that gun violence must end,” said Moore.
In addition, a wreath will be on display at the skating rink along with the urn of an anonymous person killed in a senseless act of violence. Moore said he hoped that these bold reminders will make children and young adults see what can happen by choosing to behave violently.
A donation will be collected when entering the Elmwood Skating Rink on Friday, however there is no fee for less fortunate kids.
Donations are encouraged to help buy the vests or support Weekend of Peace activities. For information please contact Paul “Earthquake” Moore at P.O. Box 5323, Phila., PA 19142, call him at (215) 385-2696 or reach him by email at earth_quake1@hotmail.com.
