“Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God!” (1 Corinthians 10:31)

Mosinee United Methodist Church’s Cruise-In Sunday July 22 brought a parking lot of sparkling cars to give God the glory. People enjoyed the hot dog lunch provided by Eric Kaiser and the United Methodist youth group, talked cars, shared memories, and enjoyed sitting in the shade. Pastor Park Hunter preached a car-themed sermon on faith – just like a car, you’ve got to get it out of the garage and put it on the road for it to be useful.

Jana and Tom Nomady organized the event. Prizes awarded in categories were determined by crowd voting. The winners included:

Best GM – Erv Cisler – 1987 Olds Cutlass Calais
Best Mopar – Raymond Wendorski – 1965 Dodge Cornet 500
Best Truck – Randy Kyhos – 1957 Chevy
