ATLANTA (ABP) -- In memory of the victims of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship will sponsor a day of mission projects Sept. 11, 2004.

The Fellowship's young leaders network will organize 11 projects in 11 different states to commemorate the date of the attacks. Each mission project will focus on peacemaking or rebuilding communities and relationships.

The young leaders network, called current, includes both lay and clergy leaders, children's ministers, college ministers and seminarians.

"It is current's hope that participants will do something constructive on a day that is remembered as one of the most destructive in our nation's history," Carol McEntyre, coordinator of the missions project, said in a CBF press release.
