The Associational Enlistment Committee is at work filling the positions vacant for 2021-2023. If you feel led to serve in any of the open positions, or if you could recommend someone to serve, it would be of great help to this Committee and the Association.
Please pray and let us know by August 11, 2020 of any suggestions that you might have. The desire is to involve as many people from the Association as possible. It would be best to have all of the active churches represented in some way in the Association. The MBA Committees’ job descriptions are located here.
Pray for the Enlistment Committee as they meet, make contacts, and accomplish the task. There is a lot to do and these committees are so vital to the success of the Mobile Baptist Association, and to the Kingdom of God.
Please find the nomination/recommendation form here.

Ministering to Preschoolers and Children in Challenging Times Webinar July 28, 2020 * 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
As churches begin to reopen their preschool and children’s ministries, what will nursery, Sunday School, children’s worship and other programs look like in the days to come? Patty Burns and Belinda Stroud, state missionaries for preschool and children’s ministries, will be leading a discussion about the “new normal” in this area. We will discuss children’s ministry in a socially distanced world, how to provide a clean and safe environment for children and preschoolers, ways to involve children in your worship service, and many other great ideas on how your church can minister to and disciple children, preschoolers, and their families.

Drill Leaders,
Realizing that meeting in person at church this year may or may not be a reality, we have developed a resource that I hope will be of help to you. It is called 4 Ways to Teach Bible Drill (Skills) in a Socially Distanced World. (At Home, Being Online, Church, Discovering the Outdoors). We will provide ideas for families to learn God’s Word in their homes, for games and activities online, suggestions for if you can meet in person at church, and for games to play socially distanced outside.
We will have a Zoom Meeting explaining this resource on Tuesday evening August 4 at 6:30 p.m. I hope you can attend the meeting. I have attached the information for the meeting below. You will need to register to receive the link to the call.
David Jennings from FBC Tuscaloosa along with state leaders from North Carolina and Georgia, have assisted in the writing of this resource. It is a resource that can be used this fall in drill. It is our prayer that it will be something that you can use to teach children and families God’s Word!
4 Ways to Teach Bible Skills in a Socially Distanced World (Children)
Tuesday, August 4, 6:30-8 p.m.
Come and learn about four ways you can teach Bible skills in a socially distanced world: at home, online, at church or while discovering the outdoors. Session leaders include Belinda Stroud, state missionary for childhood discipleship, Maria Brannen with Georgia Baptist Bible Drill, and Deborah Robson with North Carolina Baptist Bible Drill.
