Several Sundays before Easter, Pastor Lee distributed boxes of Peeps, the marshmallow chicks and bunnies, to the youth and challenged them (working with their parents) to create a scene in Jesus’ life.  Their creative interpretations, which the youth brought to church on Easter morning, were wonders to behold. Among the themes were

‘Walking on Water’

‘Entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday’

‘The Temptation of Christ’

‘The Last Supper’

‘Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension’

‘Free-form Expression’

What joy these brought to the Hopewell congregation! Praise be to God for the creative expression of our youth and for Pastor Lee’s inspiration and parents’ encouragement.

Dear Hopewell Friends and Family,

Following is the schedule for tomorrow’s Easter services at Hopewell United Methodist Church.  Please note this is different from our normal worship time.

Come!  Celebrate the risen Lord!

Breakfast following the sunrise service; bring a dish to share…or just come and enjoy!

On Sat., April 30, current and former members and neighbors gathered for an open house. On Sunday, May 1, after usual Sunday school and worship service activities, there was a catered lunch, a centennial program, and a re-dedication of the church to the next 100 years of service.
