Events

Thank you, Grace Baptist Church, for inviting our family to your service.  The spirit there was one of the sweetest!  We are ALL looking so forward to your 4^th of July celebration!

Over the week-end, the Lord was using Psalm 23 in our lives in special ways.  On Saturday, the Lord brought the chapter to Deborah’s mind when she was going through a scary experience.  She recited it aloud and felt the Lord’s Strength.  In Sunday School the next morning, unbeknownst to us beforehand, all of the adult classes were studying Psalm 23!  Afterwards, we decided to recite it as a family in the van to keep it fresh in our minds.  At your church Sunday evening, Lydia picked up a pew fan and showed us that it too had the 23^rd Psalm printed on it!  What a great passage of Scripture!

Thank you, White Horse Heights Baptist Church, for inviting our family to sing and play our instruments at your homecoming celebration.  Honoring the former pastors was such a special idea, and we could see how much it meant to the families.  The meal was delicious, too!

Thank you, Faith Baptist Church in Honea Path, for inviting our family to come and do music at your revival!  We really enjoyed listening to your guest preacher, Scott Dean, and meeting his wife, Scotti.  He said so many good things!  Your nursery set-up was great.  Not only could Mama and the younger girls listen to the sermon as they watched the little boys, they were able to see the service on the television set in there.  What a wonderful idea!

We’re glad Lydia was able to come home from school and attend the last service with us on Friday night.  What a great message was preached!  We look forward to singing and playing our instruments next month at the Dean’s home church, White Horse Heights Baptist Church in Greenville.

Thank you for having our family do your homecoming music. We had a good time, and the food afterwards was delicious!

Angie is such a special lady, and we felt privileged to get to meet her and witness your church’s love. God’s timing with the song “How Can I Fear” was amazing.

Thank you to the ladies who helped a great deal with our little ones. We appreciated it!! We were thankful for the pictures you took and sent us. We couldn’t take many pictures ourselves as we had our hands full. But the 7 month old living with us grabbed Mama’s iPhone once and took this picture of the carpet!

Thanks again! You have a loving church family.

Thank you, Wren Baptist Church, for having us come preach, sing, and play our instruments for your 5th Sunday Night Sing!  Your church had such a sweet spirit, and we all had fun.

Thank you so much for inviting our family to sing, play our instruments, and preach in your morning service on Palm Sunday. We enjoyed worshipping with you. We pray the Lord will bless you as you follow Him. We are looking forward to the concert you are hosting with Ivan Parker at the end of the month!

Thank you, Monaghan Baptist Church, for inviting our family to do a program for your senior adult luncheon. We had a great time! We always enjoy coming to your church and doing music for your events. I really enjoyed eating the corn and the biscuits. They were really good. You have a very pretty church.

We’ve been having a great month of March at Greenville Place. It has been so exciting to see the turn-out and all of the new faces.

Thank you for having our family come and do music for your senior church event.  We had a fun time!  We liked being able to relax and enjoy the meal after our program was finished.  The food there was really amazing.  You have a nice church gym. I always like doing music events in gyms.  My sisters and I liked your table centerpieces for Easter.  Thanks again!

Thank you for the invitation to sing and play our instruments at your church luncheon. We had a fun time. You have a sweet group of folks, and we are looking forward to coming back and singing at your patriotic party in July.  🙂

Thank you so much, Brushy Creek Baptist Church in Easley, for inviting our family to do a program for your senior conference!  We had a lot of fun. We loved the lunch–especially the macaroni and cheese. The rolls were also very good.

We all enjoyed singing and playing our instruments.  Peter loves playing the piano, and he enjoyed the opportunity to play for your congregational singing too.  The preacher did a good job.  He had a very funny sense of humor.  One of my sisters couldn’t stop laughing, and her face turned as red as an apple.   He brought out some interesting things from 2 Corinthians 4.

We liked the sign in your church.  We took a picture of it.  We also think that’s a GREAT photo of Daddy and your pastor for the seniors, Rodney Graham.  We also enjoyed the beautiful bouquet of flowers that your church gave us.

It was fun to see the firetrucks practicing in the parking lot.

Thank you to the Reverend at your church, Rodney Graham, for your very kind letter to all of us. Thank you for telling Daddy that he could put your words on our website. Here is a part of your letter: Your letter was really touching to Mama (It made her cry). It sounds like you grew up in a special family.

… Having your family minister to us through scripture, hymn stories and songs was exactly what we needed. I highly recommend your family and ministry to any church, Christian school, nursing home, or organization that seeks to honor God through word or music …

P.S. Thanks for the candy bar!

Thank you for inviting our family to perform music during one of the nights of your revival.  Our nation needs to turn back to the Lord, that is for sure.  Papa and Peter also appreciated the opportunity to provide music and preaching at your special service on New Year’s Eve.

We thank the Lord for our special family at the Greenville Place and for those who have moved on to other homes that we are still able to visit. There is no place we would rather be on Christmas night than with ya’ll!

We appreciated your Christmas invitation to sing, play, and preach for your special night. We are so blessed to live in America and worship freely. Praise our Heavenly Father for sending His Son to die for us so that we can live for Him. Thank you, too, for the dinner. The food was delicious, and we are still talking about the peanut butter pie! 🙂

New York City, Here We Come!!  (It was cold!)

Thanks to Adam Howard for inviting Luke to sing in the New York City Choir in the sold-out Getty Christmas concert at Carnegie Hall. Luke had a blast, and those of us who were able to accompany him to NYC also had the time of our lives and loved having the opportunity to sit in on the choir rehearsals!  🙂

Practices were held at the beautiful Calvary Baptist Church downtown. Ben Klemme did an excellent job with the choir!

Those of us who had spare time had fun touring the city. One day, in the sea of over 1 ½ million people in Manhattan, God intervened and had us run into a young lady that asked Peter and Priscilla if they had attended Pensacola Christian College! Come to find out, she and Peter had been classmates. She was originally from Florida, but now lives in NYC. Our “Needle in a Haystack” story—definitely of the Lord!

The children had a wonderful time singing Christmas hymns in Times Square with the other choir members the night before their performance.

The girls got a kick out of the free Ricola bins. Thankfully, no one in our family needed cough drops!

Carnegie Hall:

Thank you, Ron Bazzle, for having us come to Hyde Park Baptist Church. We all had a very fun time at your Sunday night service. We liked meeting your interim pastor. He was very nice. We hope that you find a full-time pastor soon. The Christmas decorations were very pretty there (especially the tree). I hope that you all have a very merry Christmas!

Thank you, Victory Baptist Church, for asking us to come over to your church and do your Christmas service on Sunday. I like doing Christmas services the best! I like this time of year. We had a fun time singing and playing our instruments. We also enjoyed playing our instruments for the congregational songs. I think Papa gave a good Christmas message that night. He said he was happy to give the sermon. We all enjoyed the candlelight service at the end. It was a sweet time of singing Christmas carols together. The food afterward was delicious. I especially enjoyed the brownies. Thank you so much for having us!

This Thanksgiving weekend, we had a blast! We cooked a 23-pound turkey (the biggest turkey we’ve ever had).  After the meal, we played our annual football game.  That was fun!  At the end of the weekend, we got to sing and play our instruments at Holly Grove Baptist Church for their “Hanging of the Greens.”  Thank you, Sylvia, for asking us to do that.  The church had good refreshments afterwards.

Thank you, Belton Church of God, for having us come for your Thanksgiving Celebration. We had a fun time ministering at your church. The people there are so friendly. Daddy was thankful for the opportunity to share a devotion from God’s Word at the end of the night, and we had fun singing and playing our instruments. Thank you for all of the good food. We thanked God for the different paths He allowed us to cross that night. Thanks, too, Poschels, for coming and supporting us! What a surprise!  🙂

Thank you Faith Baptist Church, Honea Path, for inviting our family to come worship with you in song and Word. Daddy appreciated the opportunity to preach the sermon, and we all loved singing, playing, and participating in your Sunday school. We were so thankful to the Lord for the rain we needed so badly! If you look closely, you can see it in the outdoor photos! 🙂
