Dinner on the Grounds, BBQ Cook-off and Cake Auction March 27, 2020

SUPPORT COLLEGIATE MISSIONS

Join with us to support BCM collegiate missions with a BBQ Cook-Off between our local Mobile Baptists. A Cake Auction will feature some of the best cakes Mobile Baptist Churches have to offer!

The person with the most votes for their BBQ will receive the Title of "Mobile's Best Baptist BBQ Master 2020." 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 2020.”

Will you purchase tickets for this event (whether you can attend or not)?

They are only $10 and ALL of the proceeds will support collegiate missions through our State BCM Missions Program. Check out our program here at onemissionstudents.org. Contact us at themetromobilebcm@gmail.com or 251-344-5904 to reserve tickets.

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, jbrown@alsbom.org, to reserve a spot.

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!
