The person with the most votes for their BBQ will receive the Title of "Mobile's Best Baptist BBQ Master 2022." Delicious cakes will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, so come prepared to buy your favorite cake! The cake that sells for the highest amount will be declared “Mobile’s Baptist Baking Champion 2022.”

Will you purchase tickets for this event (whether you can attend or not)?
|
Will you prepare some BBQ for this event? You can grill, smoke, or BBQ any meat of your choice. Smoke a Boston Butt, grill some burgers or chicken or BBQ some ribs. All we ask is that you prepare enough for 50 small (bite-size) tasting servings. We also need you to invite as many of your church members to come and vote for your BBQ to win! Will you help us support collegiate missions? If you would, please contact Campus Minister Jerrod Brown to reserve a spot (jbrown@alsbom.org).
|
|
Will you prepare one of your famous cakes for this event? We know that every church has those great bakers who make their special cakes that everyone loves. Would you share those delicious cakes with us to support collegiate missions? All we ask is that you prepare your famous cake, package it on a disposable plate or pan, and invite as many of your church members to come and bid on your cake! Will you help us support collegiate missions? If you would, please contact Campus Minister Jerrod Brown to reserve a spot (jbrown@alsbom.org).

Donations to Purchase Blinds are Needed
The lower dorms have been painted by volunteers and new valances for the windows were made by volunteers. The need now is 32 blinds to complete the makeover. CWP would prefer to purchase the blinds themselves to make sure they are all alike. If your church or an individual could take this on as a project, CWP would greatly appreciate it.
The blinds are $11 each, so 32 would be $352.
