Home Gatherings Canceled

As flood waters continue to rise in Horry and Georgetown counties and new evacuations are in progress, the administrative team at Belin Memorial has decided to delay the start of all Home Gatherings.

We will offer a new sign up schedule with new dates after our community has recovered from the unprecedented flooding we are facing now and in the days ahead. We thank you for the overwhelming response (over 170 members of our congregation already signed up) and ask you to please watch for your next opportunity to sign up in the upcoming weeks. Again, all Home Gatherings have been put on hold for the time being. 

Bar-B-Que & Fall Festival

Planning for the Bar-B-Que and Fall Festival has begun! The Silent Auction is an exciting part of this event. There will be many wonderful items to bid on such as:
 
  • fishing trips
  • golf packages
  • tickets to local venues
  • gift cards
  • arts, ceramics, jewelry
  • spa services, legal services, yard services
  • antiques, and so much more
Please think about what you might be able to donate this year to support the Fall Festival's silent auction. All items should be new, like-new, handmade, antique, or of collectible value. 

All proceeds go to the Belin Memorial Outreach Fund to help families with critical needs. Please pray for the success of this important ministry.
