Ride/Walk for Children

Ride it. Walk it.

Derby, CT (May 2019) Do you love cycling events? Do you like to walk? Do you want to support children and families in your community? If you said yes, you should join the Ride/ /Walk for Children at Quarry Walk! Sponsorships and exhibitor spaces are also available for this fun community event that benefits BHcare’s Parent Child Resource Center (PCRC). Endless opportunities to participate!

PCRC provides innovative mental health services, prevention and early intervention programs for more than 900 children and families in the Valley and beyond. 

The Ride/Walk for Children at Quarry Walk will take place on Sunday, June 9 at 300 Oxford Road in Oxford. The event features 15, 36 or 50 mile bike routes plus a new MEGA 35 mile bike challenge and a 2k walk. This year’s walk is in honor of Wade Michael Prajer. A loving son, brother, nephew, grandson and friend, Wade’s life was tragically cut short at the age of 22. While nothing will ever replace the light Wade brought to his community, PCRC will honor his life while raising awareness and resources to provide help and restore hope to others in crisis.

This year’s event also features a FREE Family Fun Fest that includes a bounce house, Touch-a-Truck, live music, food, beverages, yard games and a special performance by 12-time National Champion Stunt Biker Rider Mike Steidley.

68th National Day of Prayer in Ansonia May 2

ANSONIA - The Ansonia community is invited to answer the call to prayer on Thursday, May 2^nd, in observance of the 68^th National Day of Prayer. 

The National Day of Prayer affords residents the opportunity to join together to pray for our country and its leaders, our town, our service men and women, and our people. It is one of our freedoms to gather and humbly ask for God’s healing and renewal for our Nation. 

Historically, this annual observance came about through a joint resolution of the U.S. Congress in 1952, signed into law by President Harry S. Truman; then the declaration was amended in 1988 by both Houses of Congress and signed by President Reagan, setting the permanent date for the National Day of Prayer on the first Thursday in May each year. Prayer gatherings will be taking place all day throughout our Nation. 

We are representing the Judeo-Christian expression of the NDP. The prayers will be led by local Clergy and Laymen – young and old(er), as we all join in faith and unity.

Our local Ansonia prayer gathering will take place outside at the Veterans Memorial Park - adjacent to City Hall, 253 Main Street, Ansonia, from 6:00-7:30 pm. In case of rain, the meeting will be moved indoors – Aldermanic Chambers. 


The theme for this year’s National Day of Prayer is “Love One Another”, taken from John 13:34 in which our Lord says “Love one another. Just as I have loved you.” We will be praying for our country, including our government, military, media, business, education, church, and family. Each year our prayer gathering has been honored and blessed to have local clergy, town officials, first responders, and veterans participate.

Please join us in praying for our great Nation. God’s love NEVER fails. Prayer changes things!!

For further information on the National Day of Prayer and other event locations, please see the official website: http://www.nationaldayofprayer.org. (The town events are listed according to the time they will take place.)
