ROOT BEER FLOAT BOOTH SUCCESS!!!
Well, our Root Beer SPOT was a huge success. In fact, we sold out of the popular treats! Despite a brisk, windy day in which almost everything was taped down, it was a blast! The LaRowe's, the Bradshaw's, the Phillip's and the Hurt's scooped out almost 300 floats.

Class Newsletter!! 10/1/09
HOLY COW Root Beer Float Booth
We're out to make even Harry Caray proud (posthumously?) when SPOTclass hosts the Holy Cow Root Beer Float booth at the annual Concord Fall Festival this Saturday, beginning at 4 p.m. We have lots of fun, serve lots of floats and even sip some of the suds ourselves.
We're still looking for volunteers to staff (to man sounds so chauvinistic) the booth, but if you can't help out for an hour or two, be sure to stop by and place your order. You'll want to take a picture with a coonskin hat and a cup of cheer.
For more information or to volunteer, check out the new class blog www.thespotsspot.blogspot.com or drop a note in the SPOTmail box at SPOTspot@gmx.com.
Don't Hurry, but don't be late either!
The video series "The Hurried Family" Help for the Hurried Home continues this week.
In session 2, Tim Kimmel (who wears really cool glasses) discusses The Lure of the Hurried Lifestyle and gives us five reasons why a hurried life is still appealing, even though it wears us out.
Brooks LaRowe will facilitate a class discussion after the video and we'll find out who went to bed early this week or at least scheduled a quiet night. We'll assume that anyone with their head on their table when the lights come up probably is still sleep-deprived.
For an advance look at the real expert's advice on this subject, read Matthew 5:6; Romans 12:2 or I John 2:16.
Even if you haven't been to class for a while, you just might want to audit this series -- assuming you can work it into your busy schedule.
SPOTpicnic (or is that a SPOTnik?)
Mark your calendars now for the second annual SPOTpicnic at Fenton Park on Sunday, October 25. Last year we had a great time, ate too much and enjoyed a laugh or two -- we were listening to the Rams' game. Watch SPOTmail and the class blog www.thespotsspot.blogspot.com for more information on when to come, what to bring, who to invite and how much it costs!
SNACK Detail
SPOTclass wouldn't be complete without something to spill on our shirts during class discussion or while the lights are out during the video series presentation.
If the lights are out, be careful going for that last snack. Some people use a fork!
October 4 - Ronda Bradshaw
October 11 - Kay Massey
Prayer List
If you ever noticed the Prayer List is sometimes a little dated, you're right. We compile it on Sundays, add to it through the week and send it out -- usually with SPOTmail on Thursday nights.
You'll continue to find the prayer list here in SPOTmail, but you'll also find the latest version posted on the new class blog www.thespotsspot.blogspot.com, usually by Sunday evening. (Maybe now they won't be home before you find out they were in the hospital.) If you have a prayer request during the week, you can simply email spotspot@gmx.com. It will probably be posted on the blog that day.
• Ryan Spitz came home this week after two surgical procedures for a collapsed lung.
• Ronda Bradshaw was feeling ill again on Tuesday night and Wednesday. Pray that doctors can get to the bottom of her problem
• Phil and Lesa Stewart's 1st anniversary was 9/28. Pray for Lesa?
• Auditions for the Christmas Show may be over, but now the real work begins. Please also pray for our "guest director" and a wonderful turnout! Pray that our production provides a strong witness to the audience.
• Daniel Massey needs prayer for decisions regarding courses, major, etc. He is a sophomore at Truman.
• One of Brooks' clients is recovering from a stroke on the heels of a TIA, and Tuesday he awoke to discover his 61-year-old spouse had died in her sleep.
• Pray for ministries of associate SPOT members who cannot attend class (maybe they'll join us at the SPOTnik).
• Remember Don and Lori as they return from Denver with Lori's parents this weekend.
Okay, one last time. Be sure to check out the new SPOTclass blog. You can find it at www.thespotsspot.blogspot.com. You'll even have the opportunity to FOLLOW the class blog and get a note in your inbox anytime something is added. If you have a prayer request or something you want to include in the class blog, email it to spotspot@gmx.com. Class Director Kevin Hurt is the man behind the "blog" curtain.

HELP!!!!
We could use a couple of more people to help on Saturday at the Root Beer Float Booth, preferably those able to help set-up around 3 or help break down around 8 or so. Email spotspot@gmx.com if you would help this ministry with your time.
Also...off to the left is a new widget that will enable you to become a follower of the blog. It is pretty easy and helps you to stay up to date!
We have had very nice feedback about the video series we are running in class. If you know of someone who we haven't seen in a while let them know! Also a great time to invite those who might enjoy that don't attend class and have teenagers!
Thanks all!

Awesome Sunday!
Today we started the video series on the Hurried Family. Talk about timely! I think everyone in class related to today's topic, which was "In Search of Peace and Quiet".
We learned about the 7 characteristics of a Hurried Family:
1) They can't relax.
2) They can't enjoy quiet.
3) They seldom feel satisfied.
4) They lack moral absolutes.
5) They serve for the wrong reasons.
6) They are intimidated by fear and worry.
7) They live for the rewards of success.
The lesson closed out looking at Mt. 11:28-29
SPOT Lunch
The class went out on the monthly SPOT lunch today. The LaRowe's, the Hurt, the Bradshaw's, and the Massey's enjoyed fellowship and bar-b-que at Bandanas! Remember, next month the SPOT lunch will be our annual fall class picnic at Fenton Park. The date for that is 10/25. Mark your calendars and we will see you there!
Root Beer Float Booth
Many thanks to all those who donated for the Root Beer Float booth...as well as to those who have volunteered to help serve. If you find that you might be able to help serve we can still use the help! You can email to spotspot@gmx.com!
Today's Prayer Requests
- Phil and Lesa's 1st anniversary on 9/28
