September 8th was the annual meeting at RRMH and it was a beautiful day for a get together. There was plenty of good food, children playing and adults enjoying visiting with old and new friends.
We were blessed to have members of the Benjamin Logan SAR who did a color guard presentation of the flag to open our service. During the day they took time for teachable moments with individuals and children.
Randy McMoran brought the Hopewell Baptist church choir who blessed all with their traditional songs, stringed instruments and presentation of "Let's Go Down to the River to Pray."
Pastor Jim Woodard of Hopewell Baptist Church presented a wonderful message of the importance of the meetinghouse's history. "The people of North Carolina were not willing to listen to James McGready's appeal for seeking God but the people of this area were willing and God moved in such a mighty way that it is known as the Second Great Awakening and impacted our entire nation." He implored all of us to be willing and open to God.
Please join us next year on the 2nd Sunday in September for another annual meeting.
