Join us for an informal time of gathering together for crafting and fellowship! Bring pumpkins, decorating resources, newspaper, any tables/chairs you have.
Homewood Central Park has a very large field to set up picnic blankets, camp chairs, and even portable tables. If you are comfortable with sharing food and eating as a potluck, you can bring your own table to set up at your picnic spot. This is a great way to connect with other families. We will have Thanksgiving crafts and activities available, and teens are encouraged to come as well! This event will be held rain or shine. We won’t be able to reschedule this event, but we encourage everyone to be wise and safe if there is inclement weather.
Visit the BHC website to register your student's participation by December 6th! More info at https://birminghamhomeschoolers.com/event/geography-fair/

We are offering an online workshop focusing on the high school journey. This is only open to Essential families, because we will be discussing procedures specific to Essential enrollment and Essential’s diploma requirements. Best for families with students in grades 8-12. Use online form below to RSVP for this workshop. You must be logged in to complete the form and receive the workshop access information. After you complete the RSVP, please check all your email folders for an email with subject line “Your Tickets from Essential Church School.” It can take up to 30 minutes for the link to process and be emailed. The virtual link gives you access to the Microsoft Teams meeting. Microsoft Teams is available as a free app, and you can also access it through Google Chrome as a weblink. Plan to log onto the meeting about 5 minutes before the workshop begins. We won't be able to help with log on issues during the workshop.
Join us for perhaps the largest valentine swap in the world! (Come and see if we are exaggerating) It's not required, but visit the BHC website to RSVP to give leadership an idea of all who will be there. Get creative with your valentine boxes. There will be prizes awarded for the most creative ones! Please know that a simple box is fine for collecting a ton of greetings – no reason to not come due to lack of time to create a special box. Valentine boxes should be dropped off by 1:45 so that they are ready for valentine delivery and judging. Valentines may be delivered any time between 2:00-2:45. Please prepare at least 50 valentines to deliver! If you want to create more, that’s fine; we’ve found that 50 is about right in order to have plenty to give out. Lawn chairs and picnic blankets are encouraged for visiting in the open area at this park. Please be sensitive when bringing snacks for those who have severe allergies. If you win a prize for your valentine box, don’t forget to find a BHC representative to get a goody from our prize box. If your organization would like to sponsor a BHC community event, please CLICK HERE for more information.
