We will be Prayer Walking the Rome and Floyd County Schools on Sunday, August 7^th at 3:00 pm. It’s going to be a GREAT DAY!  Make sure you contact your assigned location at least a couple of weeks before to let them know about our Prayer Walking.  We have emailed (and mailed) a prayer guide to all pastors, so please make copies and distribute those to your people as they prayer walk the schools.  If you need the FCBA office to make copies for you, please let us know.  Our office is open Monday-Thursday 8:00 am - 4:00 pm. 

The D-Life Boot Camp is Sunday, August 14th at Pleasant Valley South Baptist Church.  We will begin at 3:30 pm and finish up around 7:30 pm.  This is a disciple-making event that will benefit you and your church.  At the D-Life Boot Camp, we don’t just talk about discipleship, you'll learn how to make disciples as a way of life.  We will role play, share exciting stories, and equip believers with a proven disciple-making process modeled after Jesus and His six practices of discipleship.  For more information and to register, to http://www.floydbaptist.org/events/dlife-boot-camp-registration.  There is a cost of $10 per person, but that goes to cover the cost of your dinner.

Last year we had such a great time, we are doing it again!  On Tuesday, August 17^th we will be hosting Pastor/Ministerial Staff & Family Night at the Rome Braves Game.  I’ve got 75 tickets, and I want all of you to join me for a fun night of baseball and fellowship.  Bring you spouse and your kids!  All I ask is that you let me know you are coming and how many will be with you.  The deadline to RSVP is August 8th at noon.  You can call 706-291-0904 or email fcbaoffice@gmail.com.

The Annual Meeting of the FCBA will be Sunday, September 18^th and it has a new name, EQUIP423 Conference.  The host will be Pleasant Valley North Baptist Church and the reason for the new name is all the changes to the meeting.  Inside you will find detailed information about all of the breakout sessions for church leaders.  There will be so much available to assist our churches!  After the breakout sessions we will do what Baptists do best, EAT!  It is going to be  BBQ and all the fixin’s.  Toward the end of the mealtime we will begin hearing reports from the various ministries and missions of the FCBA, but this year all of these will be videos so that you can share these reports in your churches after the meeting.  After a short business session, we will have our inspirational rally with the worship staff leading us and then Sam Greer will be our keynote speaker.  Sam has been an effective pastor in leading his church to reach the lost and increase baptisms.  Sam will help us to be more evangelistic in churches!  Please RSVP by September 12^th.   You can call 706-291-0904 or email fcbaoffice@gmail.com or click on the EQUIP423 conference tab to go to the registration form.
