Vietnam POW 49th Freedom Reunion Gala, Greer, SC

It was an immense pleasure to sing the National Anthem and provide the musical entertainment for this special event. To meet many of these brave Vietnam veterans was a memorable experience. Many of these gentlemen were held captive for five years or more with their wives at home not knowing whether they were dead or alive. Their stories made me even more thankful for their sacrifice.

Ben Carson Education Forum @ BJU, Greenville, SC

Luke enjoyed singing the “National Anthem” in the ensemble and meeting several folks at this packed event!  Some of us had fun being in the electric crowd.

Concord Baptist Church, Anderson, SC

What a blessing it was to be with you all again at your senior adult luncheon.  Thank you for having us back.  We had a lot of fun!  It was a surprise and joy to meet Ms. Beverly Chesser from Beverly Exercise!  Mama first saw her on TV before we were even born—it was around the time she was expecting Peter!

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to sing and preach at your special camp meeting.  We were blessed, and it was good to see so many come!

RULE OF LAW: Attorneys General Forum, Greer, SC

We had a fun night!  We learned a lot, and it was a quaint venue at the old train station.  Luke sang the “National Anthem” beautifully.  (You can see it on 106.3 WORD’s FB page under Fourth District Republican Party @ 14:45 minutes into the live feed on Tuesday Evening 12 April 2022).

Apalache Baptist Church, Greer, SC

Thank you so much for inviting us to provide the music for your Revival.  Your church is beautiful and one of the friendliest!  Due to a traffic jam, some of us barely made it in time!  As Priscilla worded it so eloquently, “You all arrived in the knick of the knickiest knick of time!”  But God is our “Knick-of-time God.”  It reminded us of Psalm 46:1—”God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”  He helps us through little troubles (like traffic jams!) and the big troubles we all face.

Laurens Memorial Home, SC

We enjoyed our time with the special folks at LMH Sunday afternoon and look forward to being back with them next month!

Lake Marion Baptist Church, Summerton, SC

We were sorry to hear about the circumstances behind your need for a pianist, but Peter was happy to step in and play for your morning service. Thank you also for the opportunity to sing a couple of songs as your special music was not able to make it as well. It’s amazing how the LORD works. We were praying about which church to attend on the way home from our trip to the Pee Dee, and He had you all in mind before we even knew about your sweet and friendly church. God is good! Those were great points of the sermon about being IN THE EYE OF THE STORM. Thank you!

President Donald Trump’s SAVE AMERICA Rally, Florence, SC

What an incredible honor it was to sing the “National Anthem” for President Donald Trump’s Rally!  Despite the frigid cold and stiff winds, it was a memorable experience I’ll never forget.  Hanging out backstage with Governor McMaster and Mike Lindell of My Pillow along with other high-profile speakers was fun and exciting.  Thank you all for your prayers and support.  God blessed our time.

Thank you to the Powell family for hosting the homecoming party and church service for Corrie!  Thank you, also, for asking us to sing special patriotic hymns.  We had so much fun.  The food was delicious, the fellowship was extra sweet, and we were happy to see Corrie back on USA soil.

First Baptist Church of Cross Hill, SC

Thank you for having us back to sing and play.  Your church is beautiful.  You are such a sweet group.  Your smiling, clapping to the rhythm, and singing along with us makes it fun.  We are praying that the LORD blesses your church!

Thank you, Mike Johnson, for inviting our family to come and put on a Christmas concert for your group.  It was so good to see you again along with other familiar faces.  We got a kick out of the photo of Daddy and you attempting to do a selfie! 😊  Keep up the good work you are doing for the LORD.  We hope you have a very Blessed Christmas!

We had fun singing and playing Christmas music again for the dear folks at the nursing home we’ve ministered at for the past 25 years!  It was so nice to be inside again.  Merry Christmas!
