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! 🙂

Thank you Lanford Baptist Church, Enoree, for having our family come and do the music Sunday night. You folks were so friendly, and we appreciated the meal afterwards (The homemade ice cream was delicious!) The dinner was unexpected and really hit the spot. Thank you!

Thank you, Victory Baptist, for inviting our family to do music at your church revival. The people there were so friendly and encouraging. You have a beautiful church.

Going to the Greenville Place every week on Wednesdays and Sundays is fun. The people there are always so sweet. The new renovations are looking better every week. I also like the new fall decorations.

Thank you, Dale Satterfield from Barker’s Creek Baptist Church, for inviting us to perform at your Homecoming on Sunday morning.  We appreciated your kindnesses to us and the meal afterwards. That was the biggest spread we’ve ever seen! God used you in our lives. The sermon given by your former pastor, Dr. Bob Miller, was the best sermon we’ve heard on Luke 15. God’s timing was perfect, as it was just what we needed to hear that morning. It was an encouragement to our family. We included a picture we took of the nursery wall and Jordan Major’s incredible art work.  Daddy enjoyed his conversation with one of your young people and we appreciated the help loading the van.

What a great week-end we had! Laurens’s annual Squealin’ on the Square was so fun! Our family had such a great time checking out the different events and booths and running into familiar faces. Here are some photos with the tractors and Laurens’s police dog:

Thank you Bethel Baptist for your invitation to come and provide music and a devotion at your church last night!  Your church was so loving and friendly.
