SPOTmail Update!

Wrapping Up Mark 

This week, we close our study in Mark.  It comes at an appropriate time.  This Sunday, we'll study Mark's perspective -- er -- that is, Peter's perspective on the events surrounding Jesus' crucifixion.

Last week, Jesus made his triumphant entry into the holy city of Jerusalem.  When asked why his entry was considered triumphant, you came up with some pretty good answers.
    

Everything seemed to be going so well for Jesus.  The crowd was jubilant as he entered the city.  He ran merchants out of the Court of Gentiles in the Temple.  This Sunday, we see the tide turn quickly as we study Jesus' passion.  I've chosen not to preview the title of this lesson.  You will have to come and find out in person.  It may surprise some, BUT if I do my job, you will "get it".  
    

In closing, thanks for your prayers for Dad and us.  He really is doing much better now.  As he was released, the doctors told him they had given him a good tune up, so he was good to go.  

See you Sunday,
Don 

SPOTlunch does Pizza !

SPOTlunch will be at the South County CiCi's Pizza this Sunday after class.  Kevin Hurt promises that we'll not be disappointed by the variety of food and also promises to bring along coupons so we don't blow our entire week's lunch budget in one stop.

Don Robbins says CiCi's is one of his favorite places to enjoy pizza.  That's an endorsement you can't ignore!

CiCi's Pizza is located across from Dave Sinclair's Ford & Lincoln Mercury dealerships on South Lindbergh, east of Lemay Ferry Road.  Near where Dohacks used to be!  (That's an inside joke for people familiar with Brooks' directions, which frequently reference non-existent landmarks.)

Brooks will try not to make a wrong turn when he gets there.    

Paintball SPOTS

Tore, an Xtreme Paintball Park www.xtremepaintballpark.com near Jefferson Barracks, has offered Concord members a great package price for a half-day of paintball.

Here are the details -- Saturday, April 10, 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.  A $25 fee covers entry, air, gun rental, face mask, and your first 500 paintballs.  If you want to stay longer or paint more people, it will cost a bit more.

SPOTclass ex-patriot Bob Hohmeier is coordinating the activity.   If you're interested in decorating your body in paint SPOTs at a discount price, contact Bob at 314-541-7429 or via email at Jubes56@gmail.com.  He needs a head count by April 3.

EGGSperienced Volunteers STILL Wanted

The SPOTclass will be helping with this years' Easter Eggstravaganza this Saturday from 8:30 a.m. until noon.

You can still volunteer for a single shift or for the entire day.  If you can help, email spotspot@gmx.com.

SPOTfun Polling Results

Kevin Hurt will reveal the results of the SPOTclass fun poll this Sunday, and we may even schedule our next event.   He'll be sharing the top three ideas from our members, and we can look forward to doing those "fun activities" over the course of the next several months.
