(Photo by: Brian Moore) On this Valentines Day I wanted to revisit a celebration that was a love fest (to me) that I went to at Triumph Baptist Church for Senior Pastor James Hall. This story serves as a reminder to us all to let others know how much we love them today and everyday.

Towards the end of last year I was invited to Triumph Baptist Church for a special Celebration Concert sharing love and thank yous to Senior Pastor James Hall. This Celebration was a Gospel Star studded affair with Gospel Celebrity Host Tamika Patton, who ushered in the spirit with her melodious voice through both the Word and Song. Throughout the night she reminded us that “We Have The Victory” which the congregation sang every time she prompted us with the words “Here We Go”. And speaking of “Here We Go” The choir brought down the house with song, and our very own Lonnie Hunter and Structure blessed us with vigor and some good-good singing, Next up was James Fortune and Fiya filling Triumph with excellent praise. Their host, the blessed Psalmist Tamika Patton sang to us every time the Spirit led her, and last but not least Evangelist Dottie Peoples shared a trip of her history in gospel music that blessed us all.

With all of the wonderful music shared, one of the most blessed moments of the night was when Pastor Hall said that “Words were inadequate tonight…and that he was overwhelmed.” Pastor Hall shared that he has been blessed to Pastor 5 churches in 60 years and has been the pastor of Triumph for the past 42 years. Pastor Hall explains that he was called to preach at 7 years old, answered the call, and started preaching at the age of 18. Pastor Hall gave us lessons about life telling us to “Never forget where you came from.” And said that when people wrote him off “God wrote my name on the last book of Life” Congratulations Pastor Hall, we Love you, and Thank God for you on this Valentines Day and Everyday!
