ATLANTA – Twenty-one churches and organizations affiliated with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship will recognize the anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, with simultaneous missions projects.
On Sept. 13, Fellowship Baptists will engage in Eleven-on-11, a day of service facilitated by Current, the Fellowship’s network of young leaders. Every fall, Current coordinates local missions projects across the country – from California to Mississippi to New York. These projects offer a constructive way for Fellowship Baptists to make a difference in their communities and honor the memory of Sept. 11.
“As CBF churches seek to live out their missional calling, Eleven-on-11 is simply another opportunity to actively engage in their community in the name of Christ,” said Ashley Gill, one of the coordinators of the event. “The added bonus of the day is knowing each individual project is not alone, but one piece of this nationwide effort in Fellowship churches.”
Churches and organizations participating in the 11-on-11 are as follows:
• The Oaks Baptist Church, Lyons, Ga.
• College Park Baptist, Orlando, Fla.
• WOW Church, Freeport, Fla.
