SUMMARY:FREE VBS Preview Simulcast
DESCRIPTION:As hundreds gather at Ridgecrest Conference Center for the kickoff of the 2020 VBS preview series\, anyone—for the first time ever—can watch from around the globe. On Jan. 10 at 7 p.m. ET\, LifeWay will live stream the evening session of their “Concrete & Cranes” preview event from the conference center near Asheville\, N.C. for free. \n“VBS is the most evangelistic event most churches do all year. It’s a strategy the church cannot afford to ignore\,” said Chuck Peters\, director of operations for LifeWay Kids. So we are hosting this simulcast as a way to invite church leaders\, parents\, and anyone\, anywhere\, involved in kids ministry get a sneak peek of what we’re offering this year and how it can best be used.” \nTo access the simulcast\, users will need to create a free LifeWay Digital Pass account\, which they’ll use to sign in and watch the evening session. \nThe 2020 VBS theme\, “Concrete & Cranes\,” revealed June 2019\, will focus on Philippians 1:6 and will teach kids—through five stories from the life of Jesus—how they can build their lives on the sure foundation of Christ and His gospel. \nIn addition to the simulcast\, the rollout of “Concrete & Cranes” includes another new free feature — the exclusive VBS Director’s Club. \nClub membership includes: \n• Recruiting and enlistment tools\n• Exclusive themed clip art\n• Access to training presentations\n• Themed social media assets for promotion\n• Bible story and worship rally overview videos\n• Other resources and special offers \nChurches looking to get a head start on VBS can order the new Director’s Kit (formerly known as the Jumpstart Kit). For “Concrete & Cranes” the kit comes in form of a tool case. \nThe 2020 kit includes an administrative guide that offers training tips\, set-up and promotion suggestions\, a double-sided promotional poster\, a CD-ROM containing evaluation tools and forms\, music\, samples of take-home activity books for all age groups\, as well as some gifts for the VBS director. \nThe kit also features a “Decorating Made Easy” book full of ideas for all budgets\, timeframes\, church sizes\, and contexts. \n“Our team is so excited for kids\, students and adults to learn about the strong foundation we have in Jesus at VBS this year\,” said Jana Magruder\, director of LifeWay Kids. \n“‘Concrete & Cranes’ is big on fun and helps kids build on the love of Jesus to reach their homes and communities for the gospel.” \nAll 2020 VBS materials are now available for purchase at LifeWay.com/VBS. Any order totaling $50 or more includes free shipping. \nThe Baptist Resource Network will hold its LifeWay 2020 VBS Preview event on April 18\, 2020\, at the BRN Hub in Harrisburg. \n\nJoy Allmond is a writer for LifeWay Christian Resources.

SUMMARY:Sanctity of Human Life Sunday
DESCRIPTION:On January 13\, 1984\, President Ronald Reagan issued a proclamation designating January 22 as the first National Sanctity of Human Life Day. (January 22\, 1973\, was the day the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion-on-demand in all 50 states.) Churches around the United States use the day\, the third Sunday in January\, to celebrate God’s gift of life\, commemorate the many lives lost to abortion\, and commit themselves to protecting human life at every stage.

SUMMARY:MLK Day of Service
DESCRIPTION:On January 20\, Send Relief will be reaching out to people in need on the Martin Luther King Jr. national day of service\, and we invite you to join a service project at one of our Send Relief ministry centers\, including the Pittsburgh Ministry Center in Mount Washington. \nLaunch a Backpack Project \nIf you aren’t close to a ministry center\, you can launch a backpack project in your own community through your church or at your school. \nTo help you get started\, Send Relief is offering backpacks at cost if you order within the next 48 hours. The backpacks come in cases of 24 for a price of $84—that’s only $3.50 for each backpack. While supplies last\, Send Relief will also provide Send Relief T-shirts to groups that register with at least 20 volunteers. Our website also features: \n• A “how to” guide to help you with your backpack project.\n• A downloadable promotions kit you can use to encourage people to participate. \nLet’s all consider this time as “a day on\, not a day off\,” by honoring King’s life and sharing the love of Christ in tangible ways. \nVisit our website  to register\, and join Send Relief and thousands of others across the country on this national day of service by meeting needs and changing lives.

DESCRIPTION:A cohort of 12 pastors (African American and Anglo) have gathered for over two years to work on racial reconciliation and racial unity. The long period of gathering together allowed them to develop a culture of trust with one another. Participants admit\, at first\, there was a lot of ignorance and arrogance on all sides\, but ultimately the pastors developed a deep love for one another\, similar to how Jesus Christ loves the church. \nAs a result of the discussions\, there is a new initiative to encourage the partnership of churches from different backgrounds called Mansion Hope\, a joint effort by the pastors to reach the underprivileged community of Strawberry Mansion with the gospel. \nThere are also plans to convene a similar cohort in the western region\, and for new cohorts to be started with the other ethnic groups that make up our big\, beautiful and diverse Baptist Resource Network family. \nPlease Note: These meetings are by invitation only.

SUMMARY:BRN Strategy Meeting with Will Mancini
DESCRIPTION:Will Mancini leads Denominee as the third organization he has founded since transitioning from pastoral work to full-time church consulting in 2001. In 2004 he started Auxano\, a nonprofit which serves 400 churches yearly in Southern Baptist and other evangelical denominations through onsite consulting\, training and certification of services that include visionary planning\, leadership development and capital campaign design. In 2016 he started Younique\, a company that helps leaders deliver personal visioning and life planning to members and attenders in their churches. He is the author of “God Dreams: 12 Vision Templates for Finding and Focusing Your Church’s Future” and “Church Unique: How Missional Leaders Cast Vision\, Create Culture and Create Movement.” \nThrough Denominee’s work with state conventions and Baptist associations\, “we’re trying to help local churches thrive through biblical network leadership that thrives\,” Mancini told Baptist Press\, by “activating a new imagination for how groupings of churches flourish and how the network brings value to those local churches.” \nThe local church is “a complete local expression of the body of Christ\,” he said. “But we as Southern Baptists have always believed in partnering for the sake of … going beyond what one church can do.” \nMancini said he works as a “strategic outsider\,” his preferred term for a church consultant. His aspiration is for every church to have its own strategic outsider — “someone who brings a strategic viewpoint from an outside objective vantage point … not entangled emotionally with the dynamic inside the organization\, but who brings fresh insight. Each three-year process is customized based on several realities\, including the current state strategy\, the current level of church engagement and the unique needs and opportunities in each region.” \nAlthough Auxano has become somewhat of a network as new churches every year use their vision and discipleship tools\, Mancini said he began to sense God’s direction toward something larger. \n“I don’t want to compete with all of these other preexisting networks of state conventions and local associations\,” he said. “I want to add value to them\, and I want to help them add value to their churches.”

SUMMARY:SBC annual meeting registration opens
DESCRIPTION:Each church should send the maximum number of messengers allowed to the 2020 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting in Orlando in June\, SBC Executive Committee president Ronnie Floyd told Baptist Press Jan. 14. \n“I want to encourage every Southern Baptist church to send messengers to our 2020 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting in Orlando\, Fla.\, on June 9-10\,” Floyd said in advance of the opening of online registration Feb. 1 at sbcannualmeeting.net. \n“I am calling upon our pastors and church leaders from our churches to do all they can to bring their full contingent of messengers to Orlando\,” Floyd said. “This will be a historic convention that casts a big vision for our future together. \n“I deeply believe the more people we can have attend our annual meeting each year\,” he said\, “the more we will be able to mobilize our work together across the world as Southern Baptists.” \nThe meeting\, themed “Gospel Above All. Always\,” has already drawn a higher hotel registration to date than previous meetings\, said William Townes\, SBC EC chief financial officer. He tabulated hotel registration to date for SBC 2020 at 2\,132\, compared to 1\,327 at the comparable time last year for SBC 2019. \n“We are very pleased that current hotel bookings are far outpacing the prior year\,” Townes told BP Monday (Jan. 13). “Based on these strong reservation [numbers]\, we anticipate we will have between 11\,000 and 13\,000 church messengers represented with more than 15\,000 attendees in total.” \nEach church is allowed a minimum of two messengers\, with other criteria determining an allowed messenger count as high 12 per church. \nHotel rooms are still available at sbcannualmeeting.net for the meeting at the west concourse of the Orange County Convention Center. \nWatch Floyd’s video invitation to SBC 2020:

SUMMARY:Racial Reconciliation Sunday
DESCRIPTION:“For he is our peace\, who made both groups one and tore down the dividing wall of hostility. In his flesh\, he made of no effect the law consisting of commands and expressed in regulations\, so that he might create in himself one new man from the two\, resulting in peace. He did this so that he might reconcile both to God in one body through the cross by which he put the hostility to death” (Ephesians 2:14-16 CSB). \n\nWe are committed to upholding the human dignity of every individual and advancing the cause of racial reconciliation. The gospel\, at its core\, is a message of reconciliation (2 Cor. 5:18-21)\, in which we are called to love one another (1 John 4:20-21) since “Christ is all and in all” (Col. 3:11).

SUMMARY:Children's Mission Day
DESCRIPTION:Join thousands of kids across the country in hands-on ministry in your community for Children’s Missions Day! WMU invites all children in grades 1–6 to participate on Saturday\, February 15\, 2020. (Note: Children’s Missions Day can be held any day of the year!) \nFrom feeding hungry people to visiting shut-ins\, boys and girls follow God’s command to “put your love into action” (1 John 3:18). Church groups create projects that meet needs in their own communities. WMU created Children’s Missions Day to move children out of their churches and into their communities to do missions. The first Children’s Missions Day was in 2008. Since then\, thousands of people have taken part in this special day. \n*You may have noticed we’ve recently changed the name of this event from Children’s Ministry Day to Children’s Missions Day. Don’t worry — this is not a typo! We’ve put plenty of thought and prayer into this change. Follow this link to read a little more about the difference between ministry and missions. \nIf you have comments or questions about Children’s Missions Day\, please email WMU President Theresa Krieg at Theresabkrieg@gmail.com or children@wmu.org. We look forward to helping your kids do hands-on ministry! \nDownloadable Resources:\nChildren’s Missions Day 2020 flyer \nChildren’s Missions Day 2020 press release \nChildren’s Missions Day 2020 clip art \nChildren’s Missions Day Customizable Certificate \nOrder More Resources (Badge\, Promotional Kit)

SUMMARY:'Return to Me: A Spiritual Process for Church Revitalization' with Claude King
DESCRIPTION:Pastors\, church leaders\, revitalization coaches\, prayer leaders — You will not want to miss this opportunity to hear from Claude King as he shares Return to Me: A Spiritual Process for Church Revitalization. \n“A revived church is the only hope for a dying world.” — Andrew Murray \nClaude King writes: “Plateaued\, declining\, and lukewarm churches need a spiritual revitalization\, not just a cosmetic fix. Examine a new tool and biblical process to guide your church to hear and respond to what the Spirit is saying to the church. Help your church Love God\, Love Others\, Surrender All\, Be Transformed\, Join God’s Mission\, and Glorify God as they return to Him. He’s given an invitation and made a promise: “‘Return to Me\, and I will return to you\,’ says the Lord of Armies.” (Malachi 3:7). \nClaude King will be sharing Wednesday\, February 19\, 10:00 am – 3:00 pm at the BRN Hub. \nRegistration is free\, and includes lunch and a copy of King’s newest book Return to Me: God’s Invitation and Promise to His Church (one per church). \n  \nRegister Now \n  \nIf overnight accommodations in the Volunteer House are needed (available on a First Come\, First Served basis)\, please contact the Helpdesk at helpdesk@brnunited.org. \nAbout Claude King\nClaude King\, discipleship and church health specialist for LifeWay Christian Resources. Photo by Shannon Baker\nClaude King currently serves as discipleship and church health specialist at LifeWay Christian Resources. He and his wife Reta are natives and current residents of Murfreesboro\, Tennessee. After attending school in New Orleans\, Claude began work as an editor at the Baptist Sunday School Board (now LifeWay) in Nashville\, Tennessee. After a writer cancellation\, he coauthored his first book (“WiseCounsel: Skills for Lay Counseling” with John Drakeford) out of sheer necessity to meet a deadline. He met and began working with Henry Blackaby in 1986. That relationship led to their developing “Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing the Will of God” which was first released in 1990. The popularity of that book led to opportunities to write others\, first with Blackaby and then with a number of other authors. His special contribution to many of those resources has been his style of interactive writing that engages a learner in understanding and applying truths from a message to his or her life. In his current job at LifeWay\, he speaks\, leads workshops and seminars\, and consults with pastors and church leaders to help them and their churches obey Jesus Christ’s final command to make disciples of all nations. \nRelated article: PrayerLink asks God for workers for the Harvest
