The Good Hope Baptist Church is located five miles northwest of Dozier, Alabama, just inside Covington County. The church was first constituted in 1828. The doors have been closed and locked and services have been discontinued due to the need of restoration. For those of you interested in seeing this historical church brought back to life again, please join in raising money to make this possible. It is a gorgeous sanctuary that makes you want to sing “gimmie that ole time religion, it’s good enough for me.” So lets all put this song in our hearts and make it our theme song as we work toward restoring this beautiful historical building. The outside dinner-on-the-ground table still stands, but deteriorating fast. At the edge of the woods is a historical concrete pool about 3 or 4 feet deep and 6 or 8 feet square where baptism took place. There are hundreds of graves in the well kept cemetery across the road, some dating back to the 1800s. A group of carpenters called “Carpenters for Christ” have offered to do the labor at no charge. Now it’s up to all of us to raise enough money to supply the materials needed in this restoration. A fund has been set up at the First National Bank of Dozier, in Dozier, Alabama, to help with this project. If you would like to make a donation please mail it to The First National Bank of Dozier, 7825 South Main Street, PO 68, Dozier, Alabama, 36028 . All checks are made payable to Good Hope Primitive Baptist Church. From all of us who have relatives buried there, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your donation. God bless each of you. --Fran Davidson--
