A few dozen motorcyclists have arrived at the Capital City Bikers’ Church in Ottawa.

The church has been defaced with graffiti, with large red and black spray-painted letters reading, “No haven for fascism.”

Organizers on site are asking media not to interview this morning’s church goers.

A spokeswoman for Freedom Fighters Canada, one of the groups behind the weekend-long “Rolling Thunder” rally, says this morning’s  church service is the only event associated with the rally set to take place today.
