SUNDAY SCHOOL MENTORING PLAN
CHRISTMAS IN JULY
If your church is in decline, if you are holding your own
or even if you are growing there is a need for all churches
to get involved in the following mentoring plan. This
will bring new growth tools as well as rehearsing the old
and proven plans that will work in building strong and
maturing Bible Study groups in your church.
Please begin collecting
toys for the Mission
Columbus Christmas Toy
Shop to be held in
December. Toys for
children of all ages are needed. For more information please
contact David Lix at 706-322-7757.
What is the Sunday School Mentoring Plan? It is
twelve months of training and motivation to help Pastors
lead their Sunday School ministries to be healthy and
growing. The group meets about once per month on a
weeknight from 7:00—9:00 PM. The training will be led
by Dr. Glenn Canup, Executive Pastor at Mabel White
Baptist Church in Macon, GA.
This will be a drop in Open House Event. For more
information please call Billy Holbrook at 706-326-6125.
Start planning now to bring this
vital ministry to your church.
100 Book bags are available to the
first 10 churches to sign up.
For more information, please
contact David Lix at

Let’s try this again….Due to so many on vacation and
involved in VBS many did not get to enjoy lunch at
Miles To Go Too in June. Please join this group as
they gather together at this restaurant at 5100 Warm
Springs Road, Columbus on Thursday, July 16th at
12:30PM.
Please mark your calendar for Thursday, August
20, 2015. This is the date for our One Day Ministry
Assistant Workshop. More information will follow.
What is the cost? The fee is based on the average
attendance of the Sunday School according to the most
recent ACR. For fee schedule, please call the CBA
office. Assistance is available.
What other Pastors have said…
“It has sharpened my focus, reigned me in, and put my
feet back on the ground. Truthfully, it helped me so much
that I think I have accomplished more in the Sunday
School in the last couple of months than ever before…”
Another said…
“My passion has been greater for Sunday School but also
I have been reminded of the importance of equipping.”
When does this begin? The first meeting will be on
Thursday, August 20 at 6:00PM with a free meal.
Please call the CBA at 706-322-7757 and let us know
that you want to join this mentoring plan. Registration
