11-on-11 Day of Service In remembrance of September 11, 2001, current, the CBF Young Leaders Network, annually organizes a day of service and spiritual reflection. Last year, 11-on-11 had 14 mission projects being held simultaneously in 12 different states. This event is an exciting and energizing opportunity for groups of seminary students, college and single’s ministries, and church-wide fellowships to engage in missions in a very intentional way. In addition, 11-on-11 continues to be supported by state CBF organizations and many Baptist seminaries. This year, current’s NC project will be held on Saturday, September 16, from 8 a.m – 2 p.m. and will focus on mission projects in the Winston-Salem area.
