We are sad to be saying Goodbye to our present Music Director - Donna Vollrath and her family. Donna has presented her resignation to the Church, effective February 12, 2012. Donna will be leaving to pursue other areas for her and her family, doing as she feels lead in her ministry of serving our Lord. We will miss Donna and her family very much. They have become a big part of the Hopewell family. Donna has served Hopewell well in the area of music, but she has gone so much further in her services. Working with the children and youth; leading, teaching, AWANA-teacher assistant, games director, cook, VBS-directing, music, snacks. She has herself intergrated throughout the church in every area of service to help the church grow and put the word of God out to our church family and community. February 12, will be her last Sunday to lead Music during morning worship, we will have a lunch after service in the Family Life Center in honor of Donna and her family (husband-Stanley, children-Clarissa, Kayeley & Clark). Please join us for this special day.

A video from the HBC Valentine's Dinner (2011), entertainment part of the night. Donna Vollratth (Music Director) in a skit as a Supermodel - presenting a beauty tip segment to the audience, with Penny Boothe in the background working as her hands and Donna using her hands as her feet. It was a very entertaining presentation. Just another way that Donna shared her many talents with the Hopewell family and others.
Happy Valentines Day
