The first Holy Walk at Homer UMC was in 1985. It was patterned on a similar event held in Bremen, Indiana. Homer UMC's Holy Walk has become a tradition in the Tri-City area, with visitors from all over Michigan, as well as several neighboring states and Canada. Over the years our event has grown from about 500 visitors to nearly 3500. More than 250 members and friends of Homer UMC participate in the Holy Walk as members of the cast, drivers, guides, hosts and hostesses.
Many more people work behind the scenes, beginning months before the event itself.
We also receive help from many members of other nearby churches.
