SPOTmail!!

If you're reading this, you haven't been raptured . . . so, we'll see you in class tomorrow!


Lesson Preview

This week will be our third lesson in 1 Thessalonians.  So far, we have covered the topics of:
  • When You Started Out -- Reminding us of the joy and zeal we had at the time of our salvation experience.
  • When Others Helped You -- All of us recalled people in our past that gave of themselves to help us grow in our faith.  Our conclusion to this study was to pass it on.
This week we will look at the topic, "When Others Cared for You".  Some people care for us like a mother.  They tenderly nurture us.  They lovingly help us recover from scrapes and scratches.  Then, there are the "typical" Dad-type care-givers.  They tell us to "suck it up" with a firm slap to the back.  Their goal is to make sure we are prepared to handle the hard stuff life dishes out.  Who are some of the spiritual care-givers in your life?  How do you see yourself in the role of spiritual care-giver to your teens?  Let's talk about it Sunday.

See you then,

Don

Baseball Tickets

Each year Brad Slinkard offers the SPOTclass tickets for a summertime Cardinal game at discounted rates. This year's game is on Saturday, June 18 against our cross state rival, the KC Royals.  Tickets in this section are normally $37, but they're available through Brad at just $15. That's much better than StubHub and these are a genuine bargain with no pesky prossessing or delivery fees.  And you don't even have the use the ink in your printer.  In exchange for your $$$ you actuallly get a real ticket.    It's a good Father's Day gift (as that is Father's Day "Eve").  There's (virtually) no limit on the number of tickets you can purchase for your family and friends. Tickets are in section  372 of the Left Field Pavillion (right above Big Mac Land).  Contact Brad Slinkard at 314-494-5081 or email at bs4@sbcglobal.net.
