ABN to give away tablet computer, software at ABSC Annual Meeting

LITTLE ROCK – If there weren’t already enough reasons to attend the Arkansas Baptist State Convention (ABSC) annual meeting and related meetings, here’s another one: You can enter the Arkansas Baptist News (ABN) tablet computer and software giveaway.

“The Arkansas Baptists News is a significant and relevant part of Arkansas Baptist life. We simply want to say, ‘Thanks,’ to our loyal supporters and extend an invitation to others to once again take a look at our great state Baptist newspaper,” said Tim Yarbrough, editor. “We would love to see everyone drop by our all-new ABN booth during the meeting, pick up a copy of the newspaper and enter for our giveaways.”

Yarbrough said to be eligible to win the tablet computer and two software packages, attendees must visit the ABN booth in the exhibit hall in person. There they will be given an official form, which will ask for their name, address, phone number, church and any leadership capacity they hold in their church, along with a valid email address. In addition, entrants must be 18 years old or older and an active member of an Arkansas Baptist church.

“Additionally, we’ll be asking those entering the giveaway to supply the ABN the names and emails of three people whom they feel would like to receive a free three-month subscription to ABN Now, our digital edition. They can be family, friends or anyone to whom they would like to gift the ABN,” said Yarbrough. 

Only forms completed at the annual meeting will be accepted for the drawing.

Included in the giveaway are the following items: an Amazon Kindle Fire tablet computer, valued at $200; a Scholar’s Library: Silver from Logos Bible Software, valued at $999; and a WORDsearch 9 Preacher’s Outline and Sermon Bible – New Testament software from WORDsearch, valued at $179.

“We are excited to be offering these tools pastors and church members can use to read and study Scripture,” said Yarbrough. “Make plans now to attend the annual meeting, and drop by for a visit with the staff of your state newspaper.”

Staff and family of the ABN, ABSC and related agencies are not eligible for the giveaway.
