Valentine’s
Featuring: Mark Buchanan
February 11 - 14, 2027
Our 24th annual Valentine’s Day Weekend
Welcome to our 24th annual Valentine’s Day Weekend! In addition to enjoying the very best that our kitchen has to offer—along with wine pairings and delightful desserts—Valentine’s offers the opportunity to go deeper into what makes Barnabas so special: encouraging stories, rich relationships and a vision for life together with Jesus. Sharing with us this weekend we have longtime friend of Barnabas Mark Buchanan.
We look forward to welcoming friends new & old to Valentine’s 2027, and we pray this weekend would light up your winter calendar as we invite you to continue partnering with us financially in building the ministry of Barnabas.
