FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION
Hopewell Baptist Church, Pinson, had a lot to celebrate Nov. 1 — 150 years of ministry and 25 years with Pastor Bill Evans.
At the church’s special anniversary service, Evans preached and Ernie Carroll, director of missions for Friendship Baptist Association, presented certificates on behalf of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission and the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions.
Commemorative magnets and a brief history of the church compiled by Betty Moore were distributed, and photos of the old church building and the new building were displayed.
The celebration “was a blessing,” Moore said, adding that many people who weren’t able to be present because of COVID-19 joined by watching the live stream through Facebook.
The Hopewell congregation also honored Evans with a tea that day and presented him with a money tree and other gifts.
