Hello all.

I’m writing to let you know of an annual bike ride/fund raiser that we’ve organized and taken part in for the past couple of years, and to invite you and your family to join us this July 21^st.

This year my friends and I created a team called "Larry's Friends" to honor our friend Glenn's brother who has ALS. Our goal is to raise money by asking friends and family to sponsor us per mile.

My goal in posting this is to offer you a chance to join us and raise your own sponsorship (or simply enjoy a great ride). For those not up to 100 miles, there are shorter rides. We even have a 5K fun ride on the Bob Jones Trail, and a BBQ for all participants and family members after the ride. We're starting and ending at the Avila Beach Golf Course. They have a large grassy area by Avila Beach where families can walk to the beach, rent kayaks, etc. It should be a lot of fun for everyone.

If you’re interested in joining us, check out the site at www.centralcoastcentury.com.

Maybe somebody would even like to start a 2:42 team?

Love to have you join us. Contact me with any questions.

Cade

Praise Report

I wanted to let 2:42 know the good news about our prayer request for our house hunt. Over the past few weeks, we had an excellent offer come in on our Condo. What a relief! We'll have sold our place at the end of this week. We're now also in escrow on a new place... it looks like we're here to stay. Thank you all for your prayers!

What other answered prayers are out there?

Centrality of the Gospel

My wife reminded me last night that I said I was going to post the Tim Keller article, "The Centrality of the Gospel" to the blog. So... here it is.

I didn't get a chance to go through everything in this article, and it is worth taking the time to really sit down and think about it.

I am looking forward to beginning "The Disciplines of Grace" by Jerry Bridges this week. The books have come in, so if you were hoping to get them from us, I believe the cost is $12. If you can't afford a book (or forget your money) that should be ok.

I'm looking forward to it!

Calling All 2:42 Ladies

Are any women out there interested in a Bible study for the summer? Just something where we could fellowship once a week and discuss the topics from Sunday. This would be a wonderful way to get to know the women of the ABF group. If you're interested e-mail Elizabeth Casparro at ecasparro@gmail.com or just 'comment' on this post with your thoughts or days and times you'd be available.

Thanks Elizabeth for heading this up; sounds great!
