Do you know an individual or church that deserves recognition for Christian involvement in the public arena of politics, government or community affairs? If so, the Christian Life and Public Affairs Committee of the South Carolina Baptist Convention wants to hear from you.
To nominate someone for the E.A. McDowell Award, submit a detailed account of the candidate’s qualifications and a statement about why you think he or she should be the award recipient. Nominations must include the person’s full name, address, daytime phone, church and pastor. The nomination must also include the same information from the nominator.
To nominate a church for the Impact Your World Award, submit a letter of recommendation with a list of ministry activities and events in which members of the church have been involved during the past year. Nominations must include all contact information for the church (including the pastor’s name) and the nominator’s full name, address and daytime phone.
Entry deadline for nominations is Oct. 1. Both awards will be presented at the SCBC annual meeting, to be held Nov. 12-13 at Shandon Baptist Church, Columbia.
