Kathy Pitts’ Turkey And Cheese Sandwich

Thom Rainer did a study a number of years ago asking formerly unchurched people the open-ended question, “What factors led you to choose this church?” A lot of surveys had been done asking the unchurched what they would like in a church. But this study asked the formerly unchurched why they actually were now in a church. The results were surprising: 11 percent said worship style led them to their church, 25 percent said children’s/youth ministry, and 37 percent said they sensed God’s presence at their church. For 41 percent, someone from the church had witnessed to them, and 49 percent mentioned friendliness as the reason for choosing their church. Can you guess the top two responses? Doctrine and preaching – 88 percent said the doctrine led them to their church, and 90 percent said the preaching led them there, in particular, a pastor who preached with certitude and conviction… When it comes to reaching outsiders, bold, deep, biblical preaching is not the problem. It’s part of the solution.

Here's one I invented a lot of years ago for a vegetarian friend. Not
low fat, but it is good (what can I say, I'm originally from
California).  Lay the bread slices on a flat surface.  Put half the
avocado slices  on each bread half.  Top one bread half with the
remaining  ingredients, dressing this mess VERY LIGHTLY with oil and
vinegar.  Top with remaining avocado/bread half, and cut into quarters
to serve.  For a non-vegetarian version of this, I've added thin slices
of smoked  turkey.  I've also made this by piling the whole mess into
halves of pita  bread, but if you can get good whole-grain bread,
that's even better.  Kathy in Bryan, TX  Posted to FIDO Cooking echo by
