* Feb: '''Hopewell, [[Virginia|VA]]''': "Two years ago a tent belonging to the four Virginia assemblies, namely [[Bethany Gospel Chapel, Newport News, VA|Newport News]], Richmond, Petersburg and [[Matoaca Gospel Hall, VA|Matoaca]], gave me the privilege together with brother Sam Real Rea of its use here in Hopewell. God blessed the first summer's effort, souls were saved, and some saints revived. During the winter months we had cottage meetings each Friday night. These groups grew so that the houses were hardly large enough to accommodate them. The Lord laid it heavily on our hearts to have a meeting place where we could remember our precious Savior according to Matthew 18:20.
God answered prayers, and as a result He has done for us what He has done for others. We have a nice little hall all finished where we can gather together in His name to remember Him. How we rejoice and praise the Lord for what He has done for us. Souls were also saved this past summer in the tent, some have been baptized, and have taken their place with the believers. We invite the Lord's servants to visit with us. The order of meetings is: Breaking of Bread 9:30, Sunday School 11:00, Gospel 7:45, Prayer Meeting, Tuesday, 7:45. We are a very happy little group and our desire is to please Him. '''Hayward L. Morrison, Corr.'''
