Publisher’s Note
As we close out our 25th year of publishing, we invite you to come and celebrate with us at our 6th Annual Celebrate the Family Expo! Saturday September 13, 2025 at the Hoover Met Complex Finley Center. Enjoy fun, free activities from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. while browsing 50 plus exhibits where you will learn about resources right here in our community designed to help meet the spiritual, emotional and physical needs of the family. You’ll also have the opportunity to shop for unique gift items and enjoy a great lunch. See page 10 for a rundown of all the activities including our back by popular demand ALFA Farmers Celebrity Chef Stage featuring a different celebrated Alabama chef every thirty minutes. You can also visit BirminghamChristian.com/Expo for the most up to date schedule.
Special thanks to our Major Sponsors Children’s of Alabama and Jimmie Hale Mission, our Celebrity Chef Stage Sponsor ALFA Farmers and our Event Sponsors Alabama Credit Union, Family Radio, LeafFilter Gutter Protection and Vulcan Termite & Pest Control.
