number 88, Evan Meyers!

Is it...

I can't...

You guys are so kind.

My gosh! Thank you!

You know what I mean.

That's just how I do.

Uncle Evan, Granddad said hurry

up. We're going to be late for church.

All right, Cam. I'm coming.

God, you're holy Yes, you are

God, you're worthy Yes, you are

We give you our praise

Now, you know not one of us has been

to church since we left Birmingham.

And now we're just supposed to

come in here and act like...

We anointed!

Praise Him!

Hallelujah!

How are you?

Yes, you are Yes, you are

Yes, you are Yes, you are

Yes, you are Yes, you are

"Unto us a child is born.

"Unto us, a son is given.

"And his name

"shall be called Wonderful."

Wonderful!

Before we get started

this morning,

I want to welcome all of our

visitors and our CME Christians.

They only make it on Christmas,

Mother's Day, and Easter.

Also, want to recognize

one of our longest serving

and dearest brothers in Christ,

Brother Walter Meyers, here

with his beautiful family.

Lonnie! Lonnie!

Let's not make it about me.

This is about Jesus.

Stop it. Sit down.

Now we haven't seen

Brother Meyers for a while

since the passing

of our dearest Grace.

You all right, son?

If you're in the

neighborhood... Yeah.

Stop on by and say hello.

Okay.

I'm sure he would

welcome the company.

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

Uncle Lonnie, are we still going

to fix rooftop Santa tonight?

Has Uncle Lonnie

ever let you down?

Yes!

Yes!

Lonnie, don't you think

you should wait for Evan?

Hey, I'm doing it for the kids!

Your kids!

My hands are going up your ass.

Ain't got no gloves or nothing.

Last time a man gave you a

prostate exam with no gloves on?

I really don't think you should be

messing around in there, Lonnie.

Don't listen to the Grinch,

okay? I got this.

Uncle Lonnie got this for you!

Are you kids ready for Santa?

Yeah!

Yeah!

I said, who's ready for Santa?

We are!

We are!

I'm going to make you an icepack

for the knot that's going to

be on your head when you fall.

Come on, give it up for the Grinch.

Give it up for the Grinch.

Cut that out! It's freezing out here.

Let's get in the house!

Auntie, please. Can we stay

for just a little bit longer?

Please, Mommy?

All right.

But the minute he's done,

you come inside, okay?

Okay, Mommy.

Okay, bunny.

Okay.

Careful, Lonnie!

Whatever.

I got this. Uncle Lonnie

got this for you, okay?

Uncle Lonnie said

he would do it...

Ooh!

Get out! Ow! Ow!

Whoo!

I got a little buzz

on my finger that time.

Does Uncle Lonnie know

what he's doing?

No.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!

It's working!

He actually got it!

Great job, Uncle Lonnie.

Who's the man?
