Lesson Prep
Last week we discussed how to bring calm to the hurried home. The three mandates for accomplishing this are:
1. Maintain an attitude of forgiveness
2. Live within the boundaries of God's Word
3. Maintain an eternal perspective
This Sunday's video series is a continuation of last week's presentation. We will be presented with three additional mandates. The topic of discussion will center around the theme of "When All You Wanted Is Not Enough."
Here is something to think about in preparation for class: What does it mean to have a servant attitude?
Look forward to seeing you Sunday,
Don
SPOTlunch this Sunday
If you like a good roast beef sandwich and meaty conversation, you'll want to come to this Sunday's SPOTlunch at the Lion's Choice Restaurant on South Lindbergh Blvd. That's right, it's not Mexican and it's not hamburgers, just tasty roast beef and, in the spirit of our hurried lives, it is served really fast!
We'll assemble there after second hour. If you attend class regularly, you know SPOTlunch is an event that's always worth the trip! And if you're one of our associate members or just visiting, we'd love for you to join us so we can get to know you better!
Don't miss out on the fun with a little au jus on the side.
CSM Parent Meeting
The Concord Student Ministries leadership team led a spirited meeting last Sunday.
A full summary of the meeting was sent out earlier this week to everyone on the SPOTmail list. If you missed it, the summary is available on the SPOTblog -- www.thespotsspot.blogspot.com.
Also, if you have not received your copy of the 2009-2010 CSM Guidebook, please contact Jeremy Proemsey at 314-843-3500 or via email at Jeremy@concordlife.com.
The Christmas Party SPOT
Because actors and singers in our class will be attending another of the unending rehearsals for the Concord Christmas Show, we have adjusted the start time to 5 p.m. for the Christmas SPOT Shindig at the Hurt's home on December 6.
This way we can all enjoy the get-together, together! You can dismiss any earlier reports that Kevin will be wearing bell-bottoms. But what about love beads, tie-dye fashions and psychedelic lights?
There are more details to come, so check out the SPOTfolder when it passes this week, watch your email box and start looking through your yummy appetizer recipes.
We're also looking for a good Root Beer-nog mix or a list of ingredients for a refreshing root beer punch. Please email your best ideas to thespostspot@gmx.com.
College Care Packages
We'll be baking cookies on Saturday, Nov. 21, beginning at 1 p.m. to fill the voids in the lives of many Concord college students. The SPOTchefs will be seeking to fill not only their tummies, but that empty space in their mailboxes that can only truly be filled with packages from home.
Bring your prepared dough to the church kitchen and plan on a full afternoon of baking and taste-testing as the SPOTclass again sponsors the College Care Package ministry. We're currently seeking the names of Concord's college students around the country so we can send them goodies just in time for final exams.
If you know of any students away at school, or have one or more yourself, please email their name and address information to Spotspot@gmx.com
Christmas Project
The SPOTclass is collecting items for the Missouri Baptist Children's Home in the festively decorated box in our classroom. If we fill the box, we'll find another one. A comprehensive list of the items the Children's Home is seeking is included on the new class blog. Check out www.thespotsspot.blogspot.com.
