The Marriage Getaway: Feb 1-3, 2019

Our weekend away for married couples takes place Feb. 1-3, 2019 at the beautiful WinShape Retreat Center in Rome, GA (2 hours away from Birmingham). Check it out: https://retreat.winshape.org/about/facilities/

The weekend will be designed to have a mix of a few intentional gatherings with the group along with free time to explore and connect with your spouse. The cost is $375 per couple, which includes lodging and meals. This will also be a “kid free” experience so you would need to plan accordingly.

Due to limited room availability, registration is currently closed for this event. If you would like to be placed on a a waiting list, please contact the church office.

If you have any questions please contact Bret & Lanie at bwalters@homewoodchurch.org
Mobile Food Pantry

If you’re looking for a way to serve a need in our community and reach out to our neighbors, join our Mobile Food Pantry team. On the third Saturday of each month, we bring much needed food to families at Jonesboro Elementary School in Bessemer, and we need volunteers to keep this effort going strong. It only takes a little of your time, but the rewards of helping others are hard to measure. If you would like to be a part of this Outreach initiative, contact team leaders Jay and Shelby Elmore or sign up online here.
