Metro Mobile Baptist Campus Ministries
Connecting Churches & College Students THIS WEEK students begin their return to college campuses here in Mobile. Baptist Campus Ministries wants to help your congregation connect with them! Will you take 1 minute and follow this link to discover ways to connect and to let us know how your Church wants to be a part? https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSerV2lkogZFo9sAL7hqzrBvmM6OItMyeaVMmL-oMhvgEbED3A/viewform We have a New Student Waffle Breakfast, a Church Connection Night and tons of other opportunities to connect your Church with college students. Will you come along beside us as we seek to connect students to our local churches? If you have any questions, please email Campus Minister Jerrod Brown at jbrown@alsbom.org. Praying on Campus August 11, 2016
Join students, parents, collegiate leaders and church leaders on Thursday, August 11, 2016 at 4:00 p.m. to pray over the USA campus prior to the beginning of the fall semester. We will meet at the Baptist Student Center (5904 Old Shell Road) and take a short walk to the Clock Tower for a time of prayer. If you would like to take a prayer drive, pray over another campus or pray at another time; opportunities and guides are available. Please contact Jerrod Brown, 344-5904, if you plan to pray on any of these Mobile area campuses. Move In Day on the USA Campus August 13, 2016
Saturday, August 13, 2016 is Move In Day. Freshmen and returning students will begin settling in the dorms. For many years BCM has assisted students as they move into the dorms. We have unloaded cars, carried luggage and boxes and collected trash. We would love to have you and your college ministry volunteers on campus with us as we serve. If you are interested in helping students move in from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. on the August 13, please let us know. We would love to arrange for you to be on campus to serve. Contact us at 344-5904 or via email. Parent & New Student Breakfast August 14, 2016
In an effort to ensure as many Mobile county collegians as possible are connected with one of the area Baptist Churches, BCM is offering a setting for churches to meet and greet students on Sunday, August 14, 2016 at 8:30 a.m. While we understand a few congregations have schedules that may conflict, we are asking each congregation to find one or two representatives to meet and greet students and parents. Many parents and students may be interested in finding a local church, but may not know where to look. We want them to be able to meet you and your congregation on their first weekend on campus. We will offer a free WAFFLE breakfast and a meet and greet time with Church representatives. We will dismiss by 10:00 a.m. If you would like to be a part, please let us know in advance by contacting Campus Minister Jerrod Brown at 344-5904 or via email. |

Your Church and Legal IssuesTuesday, August 16, 2016
6:30 p.m.
MBA OfficeChurches are exposed to the risk of being sued. Various requirements are imposed on us by the state and federal governments, and churches sometimes fail to comply. Churches have been hit with judgments, some of which have been multi-million dollar judgments. They have been subjected to government intrusion into their internal dealings. The main reason this happens is church leaders were operating with no knowledge of the legal requirements. The conference deals directly with what can be done to protect yourselves.State missionary, Jim Swedenburg will lead this conference. Although not required to attend, please pre-register here, or by contacting the MBA office no later than Thursday, August 11. Please note: this conference is subject to cancellation if not enough participants pre-register.
