Lesson Preview
As you may recall from nearly two weeks ago, we have begun a study of Thessalonians. Our series consists of three modules. We completed the first part entitled "Remember Where You Were" at our last meeting.
This Sunday, we begin the second section, "Consider Where You Are Going." We will consider the question "What Is Your Goal in Life?" The lesson is based on
1 Thessalonians 4:1-12. Hmmmm. I wonder what Paul's point of view will be?
It's been a fortnight since we last convened, so let's plan on spending the first few minutes in class catching up with everything that's been happening in our lives. Some of our kids have graduated, some are back home -- some are still home -- and we're all looking forward to the summer (if God doesn't surprise us with a snowstorm).

2011 Graduates BBQ
Both high school and college graduates are invited to attend a celebration BBQ in their honor at Suson Park this Sunday, June 5, after 10:30 worship. Pass this info along to your favorite graduate!
Strawberry Festival
Don't forget the annual Missouri Baptist Children's Home Strawberry Festival this Saturday, June 4, on the MBCH campus in Bridgeton. The event begins at 9 a.m. and continues until 3:00 p.m.
Concord folks will be staffing the Milk Shake Booth, so be sure to stop by to sample their wares. For more information -- and the opportunity to volunteer -- call Bill McKee at 314-894-2545.
Concord Car Show
You won't want to miss another big event this Saturday: Concord's 4th Annual Car Show. There are always cool cars and trucks, demonstrations, and a surprise or two. It starts at 4 p.m. and lasts until dusk ('bout 9 p.m.).
That means you have just enough time to hustle on down from Bridgeton after a day at the Strawberry Festival and enjoy a full evening of mobile entertainment. Don't drive too fast, however. There won't be any awards for the most impressive speeding ticket!
Cardinals Baseball Tickets
Yep, Brad Slinkard still has tickets for the Cardinals June 18th game against the Kansas City Royals. SPOTclass members (or anybody Brad Slinkard knows -- or anybody that knows anybody Brad Slinkard knows) can buy $37 tickets for just $15. That's a real ticket you can hold and the ink doesn't rub off on your hands. In case you haven't heard this suggestion before, these tickets would make a great pre-Father's Day gift! (You can ask Dad to pay you back later.)
As a bonus, the student choir from Taylors First Baptist Church in Taylors, SC (directed by Concord's former Fine Arts Pastor, Kevin Batson) will sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the 7th inning stretch. Tickets are in section 372 of the Left Field Pavilion (right above Big Mac Land). Contact Brad at 314-494-5081 or email at bs4@sbcglobal.net.
Blood Drive (yet another headline that requires red ink)
There will be a blood drive at church on Monday, June 13. The blood-letting begins at 3 p.m. with cookies and other treats to follow (if you're still conscious). The drive officially wraps up at 7 p.m., but if you show them a good vein, the Red Cross volunteers just might stay later. You can sign up in the Atrium this Sunday or visit www.redcrossblood.org (use sponsor code 'Concord Church').
