Southern Gospel Homecoming, Pickens Performing Arts Center

We had a very fun time singing for the Southern Gospel Homecoming!  It was nice to meet Johnson Edition and seeing the Carolina Boys again.  🙂  Sorry for the pathetic display of photos this time!

We enjoyed being able to relax in The Green Room before we sang!

First Baptist Church, Laurens, SC

We had a really fun time singing and playing our instruments for your senior luncheon.  Thank you for inviting us, Mrs. Rogers!  We were glad that Luke and Deborah were able to make it from work—in the nick-of-time!  The food was incredible (especially the creamed corn)!  And the cheesecake hit the spot!!  🙂

Deborah was rushing to get to the church from work, so Phebe had to tune her harp!

We liked the cute snowman decorations!

Rocky River Baptist Church, Iva, SC

We had a GREAT time providing music for your service!  Your church has a very “homey” atmosphere! 🙂 The food afterwards hit the spot!  My personal favorite was the mac n’ cheese, and also the ice cream sandwich pie! 🙂

Papa and your very nice pastor, Bobby Jones

Greenville Place Christmas Service

Even though we didn’t have a white Christmas, there was a thick coating of frost covering the whole ground Christmas morning, so I guess that’s all we can expect in the South. 🙂 We had fun spending time with our wonderful friends at the Greenville Place on Christmas Evening. We did a lot of Christmas songs, and Daddy gave a great sermon.

Victory Baptist Church, Anderson, SC

Thank you for inviting our family back to provide the music and preaching for your Christmas service!  There was a real sweet spirit, and we enjoyed the time with ya’ll.  The dinner afterwards was amazing!

Your sweet pastor, Herb Moore

The Pastor’s Class Christmas Party!

Thank you so much to our wonderful pastor for inviting us to sing and play for your class Christmas party.  The dinner was DELICIOUS!  Thank y’all for all the extra food you gave to our family.  That was so thoughtful.  We are already enjoying it!  🙂  Mama and Papa have also enjoyed being part of this Bible Fellowship Class.

Thank you for having us sing and play our instruments for your Christmas party!  We really appreciated the meal.  The cakes were phenomenal!  As you know, it was Deborah’s birthday, and she said, “That was the most fun I’ve had at a senior luncheon!”  We all enjoyed it.  Mrs. Kathy did a great job in her drama presentation of the missionary, Lottie Moon.  We learned a lot, and we loved her costume.

Thank you so much for inviting me (Deborah) to play my harp for your Sounds of Peace Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony!  I had a lot of fun.  Thank you also for the bell you gave me.  Also, the punch and cookies were delicious!  🙂

We had a good time singing and playing our instruments at your church on Sunday! We loved the fall decorations you had displayed everywhere! 🙂 Their colors were so bright and vibrant. We thought it was funny that you recognized Luke from the bank.

Faith Baptist Church

Thank you, Mrs. Scarborough, for inviting us to the Gospel Sing with King’s Cross.  We had a fun time!  We thought it was sweet that the singers prayed over you and Brother Tab and his ministry.  🙂  We were surprised that they asked us to sing a song!  Jim Krope did a great job on the piano during intermission!

Pickens County Performing Arts Center, Liberty, SC

We were so thankful to our pastor for inviting us to sing and play our instruments at the Day of Prayer meeting where he spoke. Our country is in desperate need of a revival, and we wish more people could hear the message we heard that night. Pray for America!

WTBI Share-a-thon 2018!

Thank you for inviting us to sing for the WTBI 2018 Share-a-thon on Saturday.  We had such a good time!  It was a lot of fun.  🙂  And thank you for the delicious fruit basket.  We had to leave and set up at another church right after, and so the fruit gave us much needed energy and some good old-fashioned potassium and other vitamins and nutrients!  🙂

 

Faith Baptist Church, Belton-Honea Path, SC

Thank you for inviting us to come and provide music and preaching for your Sunday evening service!  After Gregory’s sermon, when Brother Tab rose to speak, it ministered to my heart (KariJoy here 🙂 ).  He may not know the specific spiritual battles our family is facing in our lives, but it brought tears to my eyes to hear him state encouraging truths from the Bible that fit them perfectly, as he stood right in front of me, at times peering intently into my eyes when he gave his message that I felt was from the Lord to me.  It was exactly what we and I needed.  We are very grateful for his godly influence in our lives.  We love you, Gloria and Tab!!

Saluda Baptist Association Meeting, Anderson, SC

We had a fun time going to Concord Baptist Church to do some music for their Baptist Association Meeting.  The food was excellent!  It was nice to see people that we knew at the meeting. Thank you, Mr. Dill, for inviting our family!  🙂

Fairview Baptist Church, Greer, SC

Thank you so much for inviting us again to your senior dinner!  We liked the fall time decorations.  You all hold a special place in our hearts.  We had a fun time!  When we took a walk around the church before dinner, we noticed your Prayer Room/Chapel door.  That’s a great idea!
