Welcome to Hopewell!

Thursday, June 4, 2020

An audio lesson for today's Hopewell @Home to help you lead your own family in worship from Ephesians 2:19–22. In Christ, God makes us as close as fellow citizens in a strange land, closer as members of the same family, closest as a building that is fit together and grown together in Christ—a dwelling place for God Himself

Wednesdays
6:30p in the Fellowship Hall - Prayer Meeting for all ages. We pray for a solid hour, splitting into groups to balance praying corporately with giving everyone an opportunity to pray out loud as much as possible. One of the great encouragements is to hear so much earnest, Scripture-informed prayer by children of all ages!

Every Day in Your Home
You are the most important individual on earth in your and your children's spiritual lives!

Scripture teaches us that shepherd-teachers and every other member of the church are given as gifts from Jesus to help us grow up into Him. But there is nothing that anyone else can do that will substitute for daily worship of Him, by those means that He has appointed, through which He works in us by His grace.

The Hopewell at Home daily devotional guide is a weekly publication that comes alongside to facilitate personal and family devotions. Freshly written every week by a pastor who knows those entrusted to his spiritual care (Heb 13:17), it not only enables you to see the meaning of the text by asking simple, inductive questions, but also gives a sample exposition and application for you to use for yourself, as a couple, or as a family.

Other Service, Fellowship, and Worship Opportunities
The ministry of the Gospel at Hopewell focuses especially upon those church activities started and commanded by Christ Himself. While formalized/programmed events can be useful to get us going, our elders encourage us to take the initiative ourselves.

Some examples have included a ladies' book club, sidewalk ministry at Planned Parenthood of Nashville, and a ladies' fellowship tea put on by some of the youngest ladies in the congregation.

What ministries will you be starting, or are you already participating in, that you will use to encourage the rest of the church in walking with the Lord?

Men's Breakfasts
Led by one of our elders, on the Saturday before the 3^rd Lord's Day each month, men ages 2-102 gather for breakfast at 6:30 a.m. and read and discuss some profoundly helpful Scripture or scriptural book. We’re currently studying Ecclesiastes--a book about how our lives can only be whole when our whole lives are received from God and lived unto God!
