When I had a work-related video assignment in Mobile during the summer, I did what any other fun-seeking dad would do - I dragged my kids along! The two-day excursion gave us the opportunity to enjoy Mobile as a family (my wife is a nurse and had to work) and to view the city through my BCA goggles. The result? I was more excited than ever that we'll be holding our annual BCA workshop in Mobile next April.

We stayed in the Riverview Plaza Hotel (on the top floor overlooking the bay, much to my nine-year-old son's delight), visited the Gulf Coast Exploreum right next to the hotel, went to a Mobile BayBears baseball game, ate at Sonic (okay, maybe not the best choice in a seafood haven like Mobile), and toured the USS Alabama battleship and USS Drum submarine before heading home. In short, we did many of the things you'll have the opportunity to do when you attend the 2007 workshop.

If you've not already marked out April 11-14 on your calendar, do so immediately so you won't miss what promises to be a great experience. We'll begin Wednesday evening with an informal time of fellowship and enrichment (more on that later!). Thursday and Friday will be filled with opportunities to hear from speakers who will both challenge and encourage you.

The workshop will also feature a time to be involved in at least one local missions effort in three ways - by volunteering time, giving a donation, and perhaps gaining some practical communications skills onsite (taking photos, writing stories, etc.) Also mixed into the week will be an evening cruise on the Bay as well as the annual Wilmer C. Fields Awards Celebration. Our plans are to conclude the workshop late morning Saturday to give you time to travel home and be with your family, worship in your church and prepare for the work week ahead.

The focus of the workshop will be "Mobilizing the Message" (get it? Mobile & mobilize! Pretty good, huh!) Watch this space every month for more about the workshop. Until then, you might want to check out these Web sites to whet your appetite.
