We enjoyed performing at our church on Sunday. 🙂 We love our pastor and music minister!

We had a great week of vacationing in Blue Ridge, GA! While we were there, we were blessed to find Gospel Light Baptist Church and attended their services. We love the church, and we also had the opportunity to go to their Mission Conference. On Saturday night, someone asked us if we sing, and before you knew it, the church had us singing for them the next morning before we headed home. 🙂 The church was so friendly, and the pastor and his wife are such special people!
Thank you, Tab and Gloria, for inviting us to sing, play our instruments, and then having Daddy preach one of the nights at your summer revival. We were happy to be able to fellowship with you and others at the restaurant afterwards as well. We really had a GREAT time!! Thank you! You are a special couple, and our family loves you both!
Thank you for inviting our family to come and play our instruments, sing, and hear Daddy preach. If the saying, “Cleanliness is next to godliness” really is true—then ya’ll must be very godly people! Just joking–but your church was definitely the cleanest we’ve ever been in. Thanks again for having us. We had fun!
Thank you for inviting our family back to sing and play for your Independence Day celebration! God has blessed us with America, and more importantly, Jesus Christ. The preachers said some really good things! The meal afterwards was really good. 🙂 We will pray for the serious requests that were mentioned. May the Lord bless you!
Thank you, First Baptist Church in Cross Hill, SC, for inviting our family to play and sing at your 5th Sunday Night Sing! Daddy enjoyed preaching as well. We had a fun time. You have a beautiful church. The meal afterwards hit the spot! The miniature hot dogs were really good! Also, the chocolate cupcakes were scrumptious! 🙂 It was nice to have the young men of the church taking down our equipment. That helped! Thanks!
Thank you, Trinity Springs Church of God in Anderson, SC, for inviting our family to sing for your Homecoming service. The water fountain in front of the church was very pretty! We liked the speaker’s analogy about the tares and the wheat. It was great to see the Davis’ there!! 🙂 Thanks!

Our family had a great time performing at New Beginning Baptist Church in Waterloo! Your church was one of the friendliest that we’ve ever been to! 🙂 Papa was telling the nursing home that we minister at all about you last night and saying what a fun time that we had. We have a lot in common with your kind pastor and his wife. They were a real encouragement to our family. Mama and Papa definitely want to stay in touch! 🙂 It was humbling to hear that you put our family on your prayer list. We appreciate you and your kindness to us.
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. 🙂
