Thank you for inviting us to perform at your Valentine’s Day banquet! We had a fun time, and you were a very friendly group. We enjoyed singing and playing our instruments for your entertainment. Thank you for the meal. I think it was a nice idea to have candles on all of the tables. It was thoughtful of your group to also give us the beautiful wall hanging, and we love it! We like the verse (1 Peter 4:8) that it has on it. Mama has already hung it up in our house! Thanks, too, for the carnations. 🙂

We had a great time watching the Collingsworth family live in concert Wednesday night at Praise Cathedral in Greer, SC!  They are using their talents for the Lord in such a mighty way, and we were so blessed by them.  It was an answer to prayer that Phil Collingsworth was able to make it tonight after being hospitalized for five days.  I, Luke, have admired the Collingsworth family for many years and was so excited and thrilled to be able to meet them in person.  We will always remember this night fondly!

We had a great New Year’s Eve day/night yesterday! Our pastor did an amazing job preaching the Word of God in both services. After our evening service, Papa, Mama, and we rushed over to Faith Baptist Church. Papa preached along with three other pastors for their Night Watch Service of preaching, singing, eating, and prayers to bring in the New Year. Okay, we were wimps and didn’t stay to the end as some of us were exhausted, but we had fun singing and were thankful for the invitation.  🙂

Our Family Enjoyed a Very Merry Christmas Night at the Greenville Place!

We had so much fun putting on our Christmas concert and hearing Daddy preach alongside our elderly friends.  We really loved spending Christmas evening with some of the sweetest people in the world!  We always love being with these dear folks, and we always leave wanting to be more like them!  It was so cozy.

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.  — John 2:14

Thank you for inviting our family to do a concert for your Senior Christmas Banquet! We had a fun time singing and playing our instruments for your group. We were really hungry, so we really enjoyed the dinner! Your church is one of the very friendliest. It was great seeing familiar faces from our community. Thank you again, and we hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

Thank you, Parisview Baptist Church, for having our family back for your luncheon.  We had fun singing Christmas hymns for the first time this season at your church.  Thank you for the feast, too.  The lemon pound cake was delicious!

Thank you so much for inviting our family to sing at your senior group luncheon.  We had a GREAT time!  There was such a sweet atmosphere.  The food was DELICIOUS, and we felt as if we were at a Thanksgiving feast!

Thank you, Holly Grove Baptist Church, for inviting us to sing for your homecoming!

We had an amazing time at Chiquola Baptist Church this past Sunday . . . but we almost didn’t make it there!  While on the way, our van started puttering and jerking down the road.  We smelled fire and smoke, and some of the girls started screaming for Daddy to pull over!  The road we took was out in the middle of nowhere.  We prayed and prayed, and we are thankful for our parents’ wisdom to keep going.  God was definitely helping our van make it all the way to the church.  As soon as we pulled into the church parking lot, the van died.  Daddy and Peter were able to jump it, but after the service and dinner when we tried to make it out of the parking lot, it died again—half of it in the middle of the road and half in the parking lot!  So many of the men in the church quickly came out to help us.  It was so humid, and we know you all had more fun ways to spend your Sunday afternoon, so THANK YOU!!  All of you were so kind, and Novie, the youth director, even drove us all the way home in the church bus.  God is so good to keep us safe and send us help. 😊

Besides our vehicular troubles, we had a great homecoming service.  The food afterwards was incredible!  (Whoever cooked the meat did a fantastic job!!)  As always, we also enjoyed the large selection of desserts. 😊

Thank you, Chiquola, for your help and kindness on Sunday. Your church had such a sweet atmosphere. We will remember that day for a long time!

Thank you for inviting our family to perform at your Homecoming Sunday morning! As you know, Phebe had fallen on her arm while playing hide-and-seek Saturday night. It was feeling worse, so we were sorry that we could not stay for the dinner as our parents needed to take her in for x-rays. You can probably imagine how much we appreciated the carry-out containers of all of the delicious food that we scarfed down on the way home! Thank you for your thoughtfulness!! Well, Phebe was a real trooper to sing a couple of songs at your church that morning, because we learned that she had broken two bones in her arm! We are thankful to God that she is now recovering. We are also praying for your pastor’s recovery.

Thank you for inviting our family to do your senior luncheon at your church.  We had a great time singing and playing our instruments.  The homemade cupcakes were delicious!  The flower centerpieces were so pretty–we took a picture.  It was great to see a couple of familiar faces and to meet the man who grew up in our house and learn the fact that his grandfather was the one who built it!  We look forward to seeing you all again!

Thank you for inviting our family to perform for your Homecoming Celebration 2017!  We had fun, and the dinner afterwards was delicious!  We met a lot of nice folks, and it was interesting to hear how your church played a part in the Civil War.  We would love to hear more about its history.  It is definitely a quaint “Church in the Wildwood”!

Thank you, Fairview Baptist Church, for having us do the music for your senior event this week.  Due to Hurricane Irma, our power had gone off the day before, but during the dinner you served us, and shortly before we performed, we learned that our electricity at home was back on!  We were so happy and thankful to God.  Your group was friendly, and we had a lot of fun.

Thank you Faith Baptist Church, Honea Path, for inviting our family to do your Sunday night service this past week.  Daddy enjoyed the opportunity preaching, and we enjoyed singing!  Thank you so much for the meal afterwards.  We were all so hungry!  It filled us up!  We took a great picture of Papa with your pastor, Tab Scarborough.

Thank you, Barker’s Creek Baptist Church, for inviting our family to do your 5th Sunday Night Sing. We had a GREAT time. The homemade ice cream was delicious! So were the brownies! The fruit baby carriage was adorable!

Thank you so much for inviting our family to do some special music for your Sunday morning worship service. We were so thankful to the ladies that took our boys in the nursery! It sure helped a lot! Your church had a very friendly atmosphere, and we enjoyed playing our instruments and singing for you!

Thank you for having us come to your church to sing, play our instruments, and have Daddy preach!  Your pastor reminded us so much of a dear one we had at a church several years ago where Daddy was the music minister.  Even your church layout is very similar!  We hope you all have a blessed rest of the summer!

Thank you for inviting our family to your 4^th of July Celebration and Revival.  The preaching was so good—Brother Clark’s sermon on pledging allegiance to God in the different matters of one’s life, and Brother Dean’s message on when Jesus saves us were both inspiring.  Our family enjoyed our time and appreciated the meal afterwards.  As you know, that was the first time we had ever had turtle stew!  Thank you for the new experience (and some of us were thankful for all of the other food offered!) that we will never forget!

We had a great time at Lucas Avenue Baptist Church doing their patriotic service! We are so blessed to live in America, and how thankful we are for those who have served in the military and also for those that have died for our freedom. We believe the ultimate freedom comes through salvation in Jesus Christ. He died for us so that we who believe on His Name can live for Him and spend eternity with Him someday!

Thanks to the men of the church for all of their work–providing the delicious dinner and cleaning up afterwards!

Thank you, Sylvia, for inviting our family to sing at your church’s Revival Meeting. We were glad to come, and the sermon meant a lot to us. More people need to hear what your pastor, Allan Simpson, has to say!
