Announcements

We welcome Wayne Hines to the pulpit today. God’s call to vocational ministry came in early 1989 while Wayne was a forensic detective with the Richmond Bureau of Police. Besides two undergraduate degrees, Wayne has a Master of Arts in Religion from Liberty University and a D.Min. from Bethany Theological Seminary. He and his wife, Mary Jo, live in New Kent. He has four grown children and seven grandchildren.

--Nominations: We still have areas of service that need filling. Please see the enclosed flyer. Let God use your talents to promote the health of Hopewell Baptist.

--Finance Committee: Short meeting Sept. 10 immediately following worship.

--Bible Study: We are rolling on Wednesday nights at 6:30 p.m. We’ve had a large number in attendance the last several weeks. Lesson No. 4 from the new series will be moderated by Ben Williamsthis week who always adds a special flair to the lessons. It’s a good series, so come on and join us for the midweek refresher.

--Look Who’s Preaching: What a lineup! Sky Cline (9/10), Howard Rhodes (9/17), Jerry Heslinga (9/24). Check your October calendar for future guest ministers!

--Homecoming: We are blessed to have our old friends, Vander Warner and Michael Souders, join us for Homecoming Oct. 1. Vander will as always bring a relevant message and Michael will present special music. Be thinking about what you can contribute for the luncheon immediately following worship. Plan to stay for an additional old-fashioned sing-along after the meal. This is one of the top special events at Hopewell Baptist each year and we need you, your friends and neighbors to attend.
