Hopewell Baptist Church began the festivities for its 144th Homecoming with a bluegrass concert May 3, at the church.
The Georgia-based Weaver Believer Survival Revival, a bluegrass band featuring the Weaver family, performed a variety of famous bluegrass tunes, Christian hymns and even original material.
Although the matriarch of the group, Chris Weaver, did not perform, the band included patriarch Paul Weaver and six children — Michelle, Samuel, Stephen, Michael Sarah and Jonathan.
