SPOTmail update...

Lesson Preview
I should have said, "Hope to see you Sunday (if you are not on vacation OR in the hospital) as I closed my lesson preparation last week.  Just goes to show that life really is a daily journey. 
 
I thank each of you for keeping our family in prayer as I went through this experience.  Thanks also goes to Kevin for covering for me.  I hear he concluded the lesson with time remaining.  That is a hard act to follow. 

Last week you discussed Moses in a lesson titled Follow the Leader.  This week we will look at Joshua.  The lesson title is Followed the Leader.  Be thinking of possible avenues we may take with that title. 

I look forward to being with you this Sunday, Lord willing, as we continue our series, Adult Rated Bible Stories.

SPOTlunch
 
Don't forget SPOTlunch this Sunday, July 18 at McAllister's Deli in South County at Lindbergh and Lemay Ferry roads.  Just head on over there after class breaks up Sunday.  A cool place to eat on a hot, hot day.  Don't miss it!!!

The Mid-Week Update

Since I wasn't even close to Sunday this time, we now have a mid-week update!


Lesson Recap (sort of!)

This week, as part of our Adult Bible Story study, Kevin led us in an abbreviated (!) lesson that looked at Moses.  We looked at his path to leadership, and the fact that he felt inadequate to lead. This led us to look at times we feel inadequate in our walk with God.


 Footloose

As mentioned many times before, the SPOT class will be headed toward the free seats for a showing at the Muny of "Footloose".  The date is Saturday, August7th.  Plan to join us for an evening under the stars!


Prayer Requests

  • Rusty has asked for prayer for a new job (praise). Also lots of stress coming up to speed (prayer).  He doesn't want to lose focus on what's important.
  • Mike Tamennega (friend of the Meinhardts) and his heart problems 
  • For getting ready to send young adults to college or back to college.
  • For Lesa's job search.
  • For Connie Maloy and the death of her sister. 
    She had ALS and had a long, horrible time, but now is pain free and seeing Jesus!  Please keep Connie and her family in your prayers during this difficult time.
