On behalf of Bald Knob Cross of Peace, Jeep N Shawnee, Living the Jeep Life for Christ group, along with Asbher Arnold Jeep, we would like to invite you to the Blessing of the Jeeps in Alto Pass.
Our friends and regional jeep groups, Chicago Jeep Union and the Midwest Jeep Alliance, will be assisting in offering two jeep blessings. The first blessing will be at 9:30am with the second being at 12 noon. Tee shirts and decals will be for sale shortly with all proceeds going to the Bald Knob Cross of Peace. Jeep N Shawnee members will be leading tours one hour after the blessings of the surrounding National Forest. This will be a friendly ride through the Shawnee with great views of the cross in all its glory. All jeeps welcome, so gather your friends and family and let's make this the largest jeep blessing around.
