Christmas Worship At Anchor Of Hope 2025

Hey Friends,

We got to be in service last night with our dear family and friends at the Anchor of Hope. Pastor E.J. and Sis. Lacey Lamb invited us to do worship for their Wednesday night service, and we love being there with them! They asked us to do some Christmas songs.

Bro. Michael Alexander helped us on bass and Bro. Carmin Dottry played drums from the DRPC Band/ Kelly Jo Band. They were both a tremendous blessing to us!

Sis. Jacqueline Coffman and her Mom, Sis. Renae, came to be in service with us. Jacqueline also helped with narrating a couple places. She does a fabulous job.

Joining us on vocals at Anchor was Bro. Luke Hauri. It was a privilege to sing with Luke. He is amazingly talented!

Pastor E.J. Lamb had mentioned to us earlier in the year that he would love for Luke to come sing at Anchor. Mom had a last-minute idea to see if he would come help us. He was willing and available to make a special trip to Ohio, and we had a blast singing with him. Luke, thanks so much for signing with us!

Here are a handful of pictures I snapped last night at Anchor. Most of them are quick selfies. It was wonderful to see all of our friends.

I hope you enjoy. See you later.

We ended the night at Alcapulco. Good food, fellowship and salsa! That is a fantastic way to wrap up a great day.

London First Pentecostal Christmas 2025 Pics

Hey Friends,

Thanks for stopping by for a visit! I hope you're staying warm on this bitterly cold day.

I am incredibly grateful for the provisions that God has provided us to stay nice and cozy. We are blessed abundantly! Here is a little perspective for all of my warm-weather readers: as I am typing this post, the weather says it is 1°, feels like -6° outside! As my Mamaw Martha says, that is “bone-hurting cold”!

We escaped from Ohio on Friday night. The weather was forecast to be bad in our area on Saturday. We were scheduled to be in Kentucky for a Christmas concert Saturday evening and worship service on Sunday morning. The weather forecast for Kentucky called for extreme cold but no snow accumulation.

I am grateful that we left when we did. Snow it did Saturday in Ohio. Most people in our area of Ohio were snowed in for the weekend. By Saturday afternoon, it was a level two snow emergency, where they strongly advised you not to be on the roads unless it was an absolute emergency!

The Lord helped us have an excellent service Saturday night. We were so thrilled to be back with our friends at London FPC. when dear love, Pastor Vernon and Sister Marsha Jarvis and their congregation!

It was also wonderful to see many of our other friends from the area! Thank you all for braving the cold weather to come and see us! You made our day!

Mom and I were extremely grateful to have Help Saturday evening from Bro. Colton Deane singing. God has given him a true gift! It is incredible to watch God use him!

Jacqueline Coffman made the trip with us from Ohio for the weekend. She was an extremely great asset! We loved having her with us.

Bro. Berkley Rose also made the trip from Ohio to Kentucky for the weekend. He helped us out with the drums on Saturday! think not think there's an instrument that he can not play, if he tries, and he plays them all very skillfully. It was a blessing to have him helping us.

I was also very excited to meet his new grandbaby, who lives in Kentucky. He helped pull his Grandpa Berkley to Kentucky for us!
