Homeland Park Baptist Church

On September 26 the life of our church changed forever when our bus was involved in an accident while taking our Senior Adults on a trip to Helen, GA.  Many of our members are still recovering and one has passed away from her injuries.  Our faith has been strengthened by a multitude of individuals, churches, schools, community groups etc., as we grieve, heal, and move forward. Pastor Phil and his wife (Far Right) with some members of their church family at the Freedom Center, Pastor Phil Sears and his church family at The Freedom Center have been friends of our church for a long time.  Our two churches are not even a mile apart, yet we work together to take the gospel to our community.   On Sunday, October 30th their church family shared a BBQ lunch and all the fixings with our church family.  From set up, serving, to clean up, they did it all.  It was very humbling for us all.  This was just a glimpse of what heaven is going to be like...

The family of Homeland Park Baptist Church express our deepest appreciation and prayers for those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom with their lives.  May God comfort their families and be with those who are currently serving!

We would like to thank the young ladies of the church for putting together the house warming shower. We would also like to thank all those who attended; your gifts are much appreciated and will be put to good use. Thank you also for all the prayers that have gone up on our behalf. God has blessed us greatly to have such a generous and loving church family. Josh & Trista Cox Thank you so much for all of the food you served. Thank you for the love, prayers and for just being there. With Love,  The Family of Myrtice Johnson Thank you for the letters and cards that have been sent to us. We are thankful for a loving church family. Dorothy Dutton & Jimmy Cleveland Dear Church Family, We would like to say a “special” thank you for all the things you have done for us.

I received this letter the other day from the local soup kitchen/food bank that recognized two of our members for their continued service there.  I believe in handing out roses to the living, so I wanted recognize Pauline Tate and Margaret Brickman for their service. Also, thank you to the many others in our church that help the homeless and needy in our community. Thank you Pauline and Margaret for representing God and our church so well. In Him, Pastor Jmes

On behalf of our church I would like to thank Odell Williams, Gary Bryant and Larry McLees for putting our painting of Jesus by Kerry Jackson in a more prominent place. These men spent several days wiring lights, switches, dimmers and more to make it possible to place emphasis on this painting.  Now with our glass doors, the painting can be seen from the road.  It is amazing how the light makes the red blood stand out, because Jesus' blood is what made the difference in our lives.  He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for those of the whole world. [1 John 2:2] But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. [1 John 1:7] I love knowing that the first thing someone will see in our church when they enter the front door is the emphasis we place on our Savior.  Even more importantly, I know peo...
