Wishing you all a good week and hoping you’ll be able to join us on Wednesday evenings for a soup supper and worship time.
Joys and Concerns
This week we ask prayers for Sue Mitchell. Her stem cell procedure did not work and she is awaiting further discussion on treatment. Also, please pray for travel mercies for Les Jackson as he heads to Florida for a much needed vacation! Tina Smith is working in Haiti; please continue to pray for her and her team as they minister to the people they meet there. Also continue to pray for those in our Sunday bulletin’s prayer corner.
Worship Information
Beekman Road – This coming Sunday Pastor Holbrook will discuss the “New Growth” of our closet! His message will be based on Isaiah 43:16-21. Wednesday evening we will gather for soup supper, fellowship and worship. This year worship will take on a more expressive, creative format, each week being unique. This will be an opportunity to explore worship though the arts: music, dance, visual art and drama. These services will be an example of the style of worship we are considering for once-a-month Saturday evenings. Please join us, all are welcome. Soup Supper will begin at 6:00, and worship will follow at 7:15 for approximately 30 minutes.

The Spring issue of Hopewell Happenings is at the kiosk! Pick up a copy next time you are at the church. In this issue I ask you to think about this: How has God blessed your life through HRC? Please take a few minutes to think about this and drop me a few lines answering this question (b.chisholm@hrcrca.org)! We will share the answers in the next newsletter.
