Mail to North MS Baptist State Congress Early Registration c/o Dr. Michael O. Minor, 2969 Inverness Parkway Drive; Memphis, TN 38115 by Wednesday, March 13, 2013.
Line 1. Fill the date that form was mailed or faxed. List the total number of class attendees including youth and children.
Line 2. List the name, day and evening phone numbers, and e-mail address (if applicable) for the person to be contacted for any clarification of information completed. The contact person can be the pastor, superintendent, or another person.
Line 3. Complete the church information. Be sure to list the church mailing address and not the physical address. If your church does not have an e-mail address, list the e-mail address of the pastor or other designee.
Lines 4-6. Complete the information for the pastor, superintendent, and youth ministry leader. You can include either the church mailing address or his or her mailing address. Only include the e-mail address if it is different than the church’s e-mail address.
Lines 7 and 8. Churches who wish to be considered for the attendance banner must complete the section for Sunday School. Using your written enrollment lists for Sunday School and Bible Class, put the total number from each list on the appropriate line. Based upon the last quarter (December, January, February), determine the average attendance of each church school. Finally, list the total number of classes offered. If your church has a men’s and women’s adult class, that counts for two classes not one.
Line 9. Consider all your Sunday and weekly church school literature including Vacation Bible School, Nurture for Baptist Churches, S.E.E.D., and Awana. Check all the boxes that apply. List others not listed beside “Other.”
Line 10 and 10b. If your church has a “Guest Sunday School Day,” circle yes and give the date.
Line 11. Indicate if your church has an active health ministry.
Note: We are strongly encouraging all Congress churches to pre-register. There are several benefits for pre-registration including room assignments better suited for course enrollment, church eligible to receive attendance banner, and adequate course material.
