17th Street Gang Get-Together

My church home is North County Christian Fellowship in Paso Robles, CA, and my home group (bible study) home is the 17th Street Gang hosted by Kevin and Heather, founders of the Paso Bread Oven. Although we have a West Side sensibility, we being all things to all people, will on occasion imbibe East Side wines <insert grin>. Indeed, we even partake in East Side home brews courtesy of our fearless leader Ted "The Architect" Weber. Fermentations aside, we are about infinitely more than that: we are a group of Believers who love God and by extension love and support each other and seek spiritual reality through sound doctrine and faithful application thereof. We are not a cliquish set who only minister to ourselves and thus other Believers are welcome.

Kevin and Heather recently completed their patio project which turned out beautifully.

The centerpiece of this social space is the Pizza-Oven-That-Kevin-Built. (Pardon the "uncenterednes"s of this image.)

As this evening progressed a second round of coal creation was required. (Pardon the "unlevelness" of this image.)

The pizza mosh pit cutting board.

The gang hanging out during pizza mopping up operations. By this point I was full as a tick I could only watch helplessly as others indulged in a final pizza run of the evening.
