International Christmas Celebration

Saturday, December 3, 2016
6:00 p.m.
International Ministries Center
(605 Texas Place)

We look forward to celebrating our Lord’s birth with people from many nations at the International Ministries Center on December 3, 2016 at 6:00 p.m. for the International Christmas Celebration. I would like to invite you and your church family to be a part of the celebration this year.

The theme this year is A Little Like Heaven. The evening will begin with fellowship around the table with various International foods. There will be drama and Christmas Carols by the language churches’ choirs. Doug Wilson will be the speaker. Gifts will be given out to seafarers and children from the international community.

Each year the International Ministries Center (IMC) collects items for our “little Walmart.” This year we are adding an additional item that we believe will be special to each seaman. We are planning to give each seafarer a new wallet with a $10 Walmart gift card inside. The continuation of toiletry items will still be a part of the gifts. It has been the practice each year to make these items available. It is through these gifts that we have the opportunity to express God’s love to those needing these items. Many parts of our world do not recognize Christ as the real reason for Christmas and we want to make sure they see this from this ministry.

Please bring these items to the IMC or the MBA by November 23, 2016:

• Men’s Wallets

• $10 Walmart Gift Cards

• Crew Neck White T-Shirts (Med., Large and XL sizes only)

• White Tube Socks (Med. and Large only)

• Shampoo

• Conditioner

• Shaving Creme

• Toothpaste

• Chewing Gum

• Regular Coffee

• Individually Wrapped Hard Candy

• Cheese Crackers (No peanut butter crackers)

• Gallon sized zip lock bags

Hosting International Students for Holiday Meals

Did you know that most International Students that attend school in the United State never get to visit an American home?

Christian families are missing a great opportunity to welcome students into their homes, love them and share your lives with them. 

Would you consider hosting some international students for a holiday meal?  

Baptist Campus Ministries (BCM) is connecting International students with Christian families for holiday meals. These meals can be any day near the Thanksgiving or Christmas holidays; they do not have to be on that particular day. You will simply volunteer to host students (at least 2) and BCM will match you with interested students.

Use this simple form (via this link: https://goo.gl/forms/5kaDeKuX3BM9LZ703) to express interest in hosting international students and Submit by November 15, 2016. Campus Ministers will contact you soon to discuss the opportunities available.

If you have any questions, please contact Campus Ministers Jerrod Brown jbrown@alsbom.org or Beth Gardner egardner@alsbom.org at the BCM. They can also be reached at 344-5904.

FREE Copier

Baptist Campus Ministries has an older copier FREE. It is not perfect, but it does make suitable copies. New owners would need to arrange for supplies and service if desired. Contact Campus Minister Jerrod Brown at 344-5904 or jbrown@alsbom.org.

The MBA Executive, Evangelism and Biblical Prayer Committees invite our church members to prayer walk every street in Mobile County between October 2016 and October 2017. The first simultaneous weekend will be January 14-15, 2017. Additional simultaneous dates will be added as needed to cover the County. This is a great opportunity for the entire family. Visit prayerwalk.mobilebatpists.org and watch for #prayerwalkmobile and the news alerts for more information. The MBA office has a map book if you need to come by and claim pages.
