Book of Memories and A History of Hopewell United Methodist Church
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Hopewell is a sacred place to me. My great grandparents, James and Ellen Duke Story, were Charter members at Hopewell. My grandparents, Judge Aaron and Laura Jane Thomas Story, my parents, Dock and Ollie Story Vinson and my husband, Leon H. Allen, Sr. were all faithful and devoted members of this church. Also, many other relatives and friends found and served the LORD from this hilltop church. I am old enough that I can remember the old church building, hearing many great preachers preach, hearing the saints shout "Hallelujah" and "Amen", and hearing the congregation sing "It's Good Enough For Me".
