Homecoming Tradition ?
 
Is it just a southern thing ? But do people in other parts of the country have a church anniversary service and revival meetings and it call it a homecoming ?

Where did this tradition start ? Why do we call special church events in the fall church homecomings ?
It this just a southern thing ?

Never heard of it.

I thought it was a thread about high school homecomings.

This is the type of music one typically hears at a Southern church homecoming.

The UPC church of my youth in Miami did it every year. They invited back all the folks who had moved out of the area and those who stopped attending locally. It usually had food and we tended to have a special speaker before we had a big potluck buffet. It was a good time for those who moved away to come back once a year and see their friends. We typically did it on Superbowl Sunday and then let out early for the game after the food.
