Hopewell is holding a Bible study on Tuesdays at 9:30am for persons new to the Bible. We will meet in the kitchen of Hopewell and will read the “stories” of the Bible. There is no reading preparation for the class, and each class is a new story. A Bible is necessary; you can bring your own, or one will be provided. The first class is August 27th. If you have questions, please contact Jessica Collins.

There will be a training session for the use of the new soundboard on Thursday, Aug 29 at 5:30pm in the Sanctuary.  If you are interested, please watch the attached video before coming to the session.

The Theology on Tap Bible study meets at Full House Sportzaria (next to Target in Simpsonville) at 7pm on Mondays. Bring your Bible and join your friends for study, discussion, and fellowship.

Please join us Sundays at 9:15 am for one of our book studies:

• “Here in Spirit”   "Instead of relating narrowly to the Spirit based on just a few of his gifts, this book broadens our engagement with him, touring aspects of his vast character that often go unexplored." The class meets in the third room on the left as you enter the doors by the kitchen (the copier room).
• "A Layman Looks at the Lord’s Prayer" by W. Phillip Keller will resume on September 8. Meets in the second classroom on the left as you enter the doors by the kitchen.

Our prayer coordinator, Mary Brown, invites all who would like to be included in the weekly prayer list update email to contact her via email at hopewellprayers@gmail.com .
