Cooking Classes.

Hello, Everyone!

We have missed being in 2:42 this summer and plan on rejoining the class once the church switches back to to 3 services.

I just wanted to announce that a very good friend of mine is teaching some cooking classes through the Lucia Mar Adult Ed. All classes are on Tuesday night from 6-9PM. The first one is this next Tues, Sep. 4th. If you are interested, please call me and I can sign you up! Each segment is two weeks, but if you are interested in just one of the weeks, the cost is cut in half. The classes are as follows:

Starters 101 $30
Sep. 4th and Sep. 11
Enjoy planning for your next get-together with easy and delicious hors'douerves.
Dinner 101: Includes roasted chix and veggies, couscous, salad, chocolate ravioli.

Baking With Love $30
Sept. 25th and Oct. 3
Choco dipped pretzels, scones (savory and sweet), pie crusts for pot pies and desserts, muffins, brownies, cookies, choco peppermint cake, bread pudding.

Italian Cooking $40
Oct. 9 and Oct. 16
Pasta and much more...Prosciutto and peas pasta, garlic bread, croutons, bruscetta, baked pasta rigatoni, meatballs, Caesar salad, and polenta.

Hearty Soups and Sides $40
Oct. 23 and Oct. 30
Hearty full flavored soups and delicious Thanksgiving sides made easy.


I'll definitely be doing the first two classes and I think it could be a lot of fun if a group of people decided to take them. The prices include all supplies, too.

Thanks and we'll see you at church.

Cade Newman sent me this email, and asked if we could post it on the blog. Please read and see if you can participate with him in any way. Thanks! - Phillip

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.

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!

Let's put feet to this thing

Okay, it's time to stop talking about how great it would be to get together and start doing it! So... Beach Night (families welcome)

Where: Avila Beach (in front of park)
When: Thursday May 17th (yes, that's next Thursday)
Time: 5:30-8pm
Eats: We'll provide hot dogs and buns (and condiments), Kool-aid, chips, and strawberries
I'd also be cool if we had homeade cookies for dessert, but I'll need some help for that.
Cost: $2/adult (to cover some of the cost)

All you have to bring is more munchies if you want them, and any toys, towels, or blankets. Please post a comment if I'm missing anything else.

I'm looking for some help to put this thing all together so if anyone is willing please let me know!

Please post your comments if you can come or not, as we'll have to make decisions on how much food to buy.

Hope to see you there!

More than halfway through...

Hello again. We are almost through with our "fundamentals of 2:42" series.

I must say that I was very blessed by our discussion time last week and this week- led by Travis and Eric. It was great to look at scripture together and examine the nature of fellowship, and how it should play out in our daily lives.

I am excited to see how we all begin experiencing biblical fellowship together and in our community. Travis will post (soon - right?) with follow-up opportunities to all that we discussed on Sunday.

In the meantime, I would like to take a minute and get a few of your reactions on how things are going so far. What are your thoughts on the teaching and the discussion times? Is it working? Do you like this format? Do you have ideas on how it could be better? Would you rather have a video?

We have two more weeks to finish out this series before we move on, and I would love some feedback on the teaching so far. This is your ABF - chime in!
