Mercy Seat has had a busy spring playing specials at churches and doing entire services at various churches from Georgia to Pa. We are looking forward to a summer of visiting with the saints at our own home church, worship opportunities in the tri state area and writing some more new music. Thank you to everyone who has been praying for us this winter. We appreciate you! See everyone on LI soon and remember...There are no self made men in the kingdom of God!

Mid Winter Update:

Mercy Seat is pleased to announce that we had a very successful gospel concert in Orlando Fl in Jan,2010. Thanks to everyone who attended for their kind words and support. We had a great time praising God with you!

Several new songs came together in January and we have to thank God for that. God keeps opening new and wonderful doors for us.

January was also the annual Bible Camp we attend in Kissimmee Fl. Mercy Seat was given numerous opportunities to minister in song. We are so grateful for those opportunities.

Our good friend and behind the scenes ministry partner Tina Ann Ellerby was with us. She helped with practice, singing at church and writing new music. What a joy!

A special new door that opened to all of us was the Ministry of Deaf Missions International under the direction of Dr. Bernie Hale. We learned to sign a few worship songs and look forward to partnering with him in the future in whatever way God sees fit. We encourage you to check out Dr. Hale's work at : WWW.DMINETWORK.ORG

Thank you to all our ministry friends and supporters!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Mercy Seat had the honor of leading worship into the new year at Faith Temple Church of God live on the internet. We praised God for 4 & a half hours! God is so good. The event is archived and can be viewed by going to the link.

Mercy Seat looks forward to all the opportunities God gives us this year to praise His name.

Bill and Jennifer got the honor of attending and helping with a wedding at Faith Temple in Wauchula Fl. George and Sherri Konstantakis were married on Christmas eve morning 2009. Bill sang "Without You" and Jennifer did the photography. What a blessing to be a blessing!

CHRISTMAS DINNER AT THE CAMP WITH OUR DEAR FRIENDS IN THE LORD/ORVIN AND BARBIE BROWN

PASTOR ED JENKINS

A Great Christmas Present!

What better way to celebrate the birth of Christ than to be baptized on His birthday. Halleluia!

Christmas Eve

Peace River Chapel, Wauchula Fl.

Campers filled the little chapel until there was no more room. Not unlike the Inn, where there was no room for Mary and Joseph.

We celebrated the birth of our savior Jesus Christ with reverence and beautiful hymns.

Each one received the light of Christ to illuminate their life. Pastor Ed and Janie Jenkins created a beautiful Christ centered service. We are all so grateful to them.

Mercy Seat had the privilege of leading worship at Faith Temple Church of God

on Dec. 23rd 2009. It was an honor to minister under the authority of Pastor Wendell Smith. He is a true servant leader, led by the spirit in all he does.

This service was the first of every service being broadcasted live on the internet. We got to be a part of it! You can view that service by clicking the link below and looking for us or the date.

Faith Temple is a small church with big ministries. Their food pantry feeds 500 people a month! We look forward to partnering with Pastor Smith again in the future. We have found another "church away from home".

On Dec. 24 we even got to participate in a wedding there. Bill was asked to sing "Without You" and Jennifer was the wedding photographer. It seems our duties as Chaplains knows no bounds.

Sorry for the lag in posts. Mercy Seat has been in the studio all summer and fall working on our new CD. "More Of You". It is finally finished thanks to everyones hard work who contributed. A special thanks to Infinite Creative Concepts Studio and the expertise of Michael Barberich. A very special song "Linger A While" is dedicated to the memory of our dear friend Jim Campbell. He is the superman logo on this page!

We were officially ordained at Evangel Church Of God and sent out as Chaplains.

We had a great trip down south starting with an extended stay in Westminster South Carolina. We were able to participate with Westminster Church Of God in feeding hungry families the week of Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving at Jennifer's brother's was great. Not enough time with family though.

Next we were off to Woodbine Church Of God in Georgia to sing for a Sunday morning service then off to revival service that night and the following night at Lighthouse Church Of God. We met some wonderful believers. We are looking forward to going back in the spring.

Orlando at last. We have two shows here at Orlando Thousand Trails coming up Jan 31 and March 28(Palm Sunday). What a great night for a gospel show!

Waiting to see what God has for us next!

Our concert went very well!

Praise be to God!!!

A fun day in Lancaster with Tom and Carol Muckle

Lancaster!

Hershey Pa. Blessed again. Our friends Tom and Carol Muckle are here with us. Pastor Ed and Janie Jenkins are camping nearby. We all have the opportunity to put on a concert at the Outdoor World Pa Dutch Country campground on Saturday. We look forward to praising the Lord together. We may be an odd bunch but the bible says He uses the foolish. I guess that's us!

Our staying on in South Carolina started with a visit to Cross pointe Church of God in Anderson SC. We met Bishop Scott King and received a great teaching. We felt welcome and loved right away. The church announced that Bishop King would be preaching a revival at a nearby church. We attended Cross Pointe COG several more times before the revival. We loved the worship, teachings and mostly the people. God has truly blessed us by hand picking people to be in our lives on the road! The Sunday morning following the end of revival Smitty got to play his electric guitar with David Ramey on the Cross Pointe worship team. He had a terrific time playing with the team and David. The worship was great! We had the privilege of hearing Pastor Soi from Kenya preach that day. What a great man of God. We even had the opportunity to go out to lunch with everyone after service. Thank you God for all you are doing in, around and through us!
