The Arlington Church of Christ in Hopewell, Virginia is a great group of Christians. It was our pleasure to visit and preach for their 62nd Anniversary Revival. They love God’s Word, His people and good times. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Leruna Gilbert and his beautiful and charming wife, Leah, are doing an awesome job in serving that church and community.We have known this couple for years and are thrilled at their relationship and effectiveness with Hopewell. Leruna is an awesome singer as well. He sounds like Peabo.
Arlington Road has a great history. 62 years ago, a tent-meeting was held across the street from a Baptist church. The preacher, Wilton Cook, was convicted and told his congregation, “Anybody who wants to go to heaven, come with me across the street to the tent.”
150 came with him in obedience to the Gospel and thus began the Arlington Road Church of Christ.
Awesome!
Some of the members of that original group were there for the Anniversary. Excellent!
Thanks again Hopewell and may God continue to bless you.

Good stuff.
And do you know I had to read one paragraph a few times. You said Wilton Cook was convicted...and I was thinking prison, so I just couldn't get it...finally the lights went on. Hehe.
