Not sure what to say?

I was in the adult choir for many years and I always had a habit of singing with gum in my mouth. Paul always reminded us to get rid of gum or mints before singing. One year, at our fabulous Christmas Program, we were singing Hallelujah, and Paul was out front leading and of course singing, when a TicTac flew out of his mouth about three feet. He immediately looked at me and we almost laughed out loud. Luckily, we were able to hold it together, however really had a good laugh later.

Oops. Wrong cassette tape image posted and don't know how to take it off from the posting. Pardon me! The singing and playing could be found on Facebook page...

May God bless your voice and Nelda's piano and organ playing to Glorify the Almighty One. Already digitized some of your singings and Nelda's playings from cassette tapes ministry found sitting around...I think this one had an excerpt of me playing flute in either the "Jesus is Coming" if not the "King of kings" musical/ministry. Thanks both of you for doing the music at the Oct. 1989 Memorial service of the late Dr. Arthur M.T. Cheng, D.D.S. in British Hong Kong for over 25 years before...

I was Blessed to have Paul and Nelda in my life, watching and observing the examples of Christ growing up in Twin Lakes Church,and then later on in life having them as neighbors in the same mobile home park. Paul and Nelda were such prayer warriors and made themselves always available for our prayer needs.Paul was with my Mom and I when she passed and he said the most beautiful prayer I will never forget it. I am so blessed and honored to have known Paul and Nelda in my life and will never...

Our sincere condolences to the family of Paul Barton. How does one begin to eulogize a person like Paul Barton? What a godly, talented, compassionate and fun man! He could get music out of a rock! How we treasured our years singing under his direction at TLC. He and Nelda were the BEST team ever!! He baptized both of us, participated in our 50th wedding anniversary celebration and was "johnny on the spot" when we were hospitalized...always bringing words of cheer and encouragement. We so...

Paul was the most wonderful man. I sang in the choir for him for years and whenever I had to go to the hospital, he was always the first one there to pray with me and encourage. He and Nelda were two of the most loving people I have ever known. We weren't able to visit often after moving away, but had a wonderful welcome from them when we did. He will be sorely missed on earth, but a wonderful addition to heaven.

Paul, was the nicest pastor. A true gentleman and a godly man. He gave me, what an example of Jesus, might be. My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Rev. Paul Barton.

What a wonderful pastor-he gave support to me and my family during a loss-He will be missed-Lu Lee
