If you volunteer here at CBC and would like a t-shirt to wear when you “serve”, we would like to give you the opportunity to order one. If you have a shirt already from serving over the last year and do not need a new one, please do not sign up as it is the same shirt. However, if you have a shirt and it is well worn, we certainly will be glad to order you a new ow. The church will cover the cost of one shirt. NOTE: DEADLINE SEPT. 20

“FEED THE FLOCK: SECOND HELPING WEDNESDAYS!”
A Monthly Mission to Fill Bellies & Hearts
On the 2nd Wednesday of each month, we feed around 40 hungry teenagers—and we’d love for YOU to be part of it!
We’re looking for a person, family, or tag-team to provide a meal for our youth. It’s a simple (and delicious!) way to serve together, show Christ’s love, and maybe even become a youth-group legend—especially if your mac and cheese slaps. 😋
🍴 WHAT YOU BRING:
A main dish, at least one side, and a dessert
Drop everything off in the church kitchen by 6:15 PM on your scheduled Wednesday
Optional but encouraged: Stay and eat with us! We’d love to have you.
🥤 WHAT WE PROVIDE:
Drinks, Plates, cups, napkins & cutlery
Serving utensils and everything else you need
Gratitude, high-fives, and maybe a few requests for your recipe!
Whether you go gourmet or keep it classic, your meal makes a difference. You’re helping our teens feel welcomed, cared for, and loved—one plate at a time.
❤️ READY TO FEED THE FLOCK?
Sign up for a Wednesday and let’s get cooking!
Reach out to Mason Thomas at Mthomas@cliffordbaptist.org or 434-665-7344.
