Bill Hinson, RIP

The Rev. William H. "Bill" Hinson, a nationally known Methodist preacher who rebuilt Houston's First United Methodist Church, died Sunday in Huntsville, Alabama at the age 68.

Reverend Hinson was a magnificent public speaker and a major spiritual presence in downtown Houston from 1983 through 2001. He will be sorely missed. Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. today at Huntsville's First United Methodist Church. Memorial services in Houston will be at 1 p.m. Saturday at First United Methodist Church downtown, 1320 Main, and 4 p.m. Sunday at the Westchase campus.

I have been a Baptist pastor for 25 years in Houston. I was searching trying to find out where Dr. Hinson was these days. My, my..I did not know the dear brother was now in Heaven. I believed him to be the finest pulpiteer in Houston. He will be and is sorely missed. I would sure like to know where we could recieve some of his sermons in a CD or cassette tape format. May the Lord bless and preserve his ministry until Christ returns!
