And how long did you have to wait or did you even have to wait at all?

You see, words are just mere expressions of thought and well, really nothing more, because you see, believing, yes, believing my friend is what really counts.

And our faith, yes, our faith unlocks the door.

This is a very special moment right here.

But we get a chance to salute some cities in the state that maybe we don't get a chance to say a shout out to you on a regular basis.

We'll try to do that today, and then to the nursing home and the rehab centers.

Let me remind you that if you like to be a part of the show, all you gotta do is text, email, and we'd love to have you come.

We'd love to also have you submit a name for a golden vessel or if you'd like to be a part of the show.

And of course, maybe you'd like to come and just be in the place.

We'd love to see you and greet you.

We appreciate you so very much.

Thank you for greeting us as we come and go.

All right, let's shout out now.

McCalla, Alabama, hello to you.

We'd love you very much.

Meadowbrook, hello to you.

Lincoln, Alabama.

Yes, yes, yes.

Satsuma, Alabama.

We love you.

Yes, we called your name.

And Moores Mill, never heard of me before, until tonight, but you are on the map and we appreciate you.

And Reform, Alabama.

Dear, dear friend of mine, Roosevelt Bonner, Roku Bonner, is from Reform, Alabama.

Now, to the rehab centers and to the nursing homes.

Wesley Manor Retirement Center, that's in Dothan, Alabama.

Hello to you.

Elba Nursing Home.

Where else?

Elba, Alabama.

What about Green County Nursing Home?

That's in Utah, Alabama.

Now, here's one, Glenwood Rehab and Convalescent Home in Florence, Alabama, way at the top of the state.

Haleyville Healthcare Center in Haleyville.

Now, we want to say to all of the residents, listen at this now, you are not left alone.

You are still loved.

You've given so much for so many and we would never ever forget about you.

So, get your little exercise in, listen to what the people who are in charge tell.

I know it's kind of hard.

Little young people try to tell you what to do, but they love you and they want the best for you.

All right, let's look over here.

It's time now to say a very special hello to our golden vessel.

Our golden vessel is Mrs. Edith Faye Wilder.

That's right.

She's been a believer for over 80 years.

She served at the Tannehill Park Church, and that's a state park.

Her family donated an acre of land to the park with the church in mind.

That was in 1969.

And she has been a member ever since.

She says she's still living and camping, and holding on to the Word.

That's why we appreciate you, Ms. Edith Faye Wilder.

You are our golden vessel of "Alabama Gospel Roots" and you mean a whole lot to us.

So, tell your friends, Brother George said.

Now, let's hear some more great gospel music right here on "Alabama Gospel Roots".

(gentle music) ♪ When the Lord found me wandering aimlessly ♪ ♪ Lost and lonely, hope was gone ♪ ♪ There He saved my soul, gave me peace untold ♪ ♪ He's been the rock that I've depended on ♪ ♪ God's been faithful, He's been faithful ♪ ♪ No matter the struggle, whatever my need ♪ ♪ In my darkest hour, there's healing power ♪ ♪ God's been faithful, faithful to me ♪ - Amen.

(gentle music) ♪ Through the years He's been my unfailing friend ♪ ♪ Every longing satisfied ♪ On the mountain high, through the desert dry ♪ ♪ He's brought me through my trials every time ♪ ♪ God's been faithful, He's been faithful ♪ ♪ No matter the struggle, whatever my need ♪ ♪ In my darkest hour, there's healing power ♪ ♪ God's been faithful, faithful to me ♪ ♪ In my darkest hour, there's healing power ♪ ♪ God's been faithful, faithful to me ♪ ♪ God has been faithful, faithful to me ♪ Amen.

- I gotta say something real quick.

- Yes, sir.

- She had talked (indistinct) throat cancer and the doctor said, she'll never sing.

- What?

- She'll never sing.

So, just, you know, deal with.

But he didn't talk to Jesus.

- Come on now.

(Brandon and Brother George chuckling) I knew she's gonna sing, so we're gonna sing.

- Sing here.

I don't want you to sing.

I want you to sing.

You notice the difference, right?

Okay.

Come on and sing on "Alabama Gospel Roots" one more time.

We've got two of these individuals on the stage where we right now, Jonathan Rossell and LaWanda Rossell, welcome to "Alabama Gospel Roots".

- Oh, what a blessing to be here.

Thank you, dad.

- My, my, my privilege to be here and my privilege is number one, to have you.

Tell me where you from.

If you get...

There you go.

Originally from Birmingham.

But where are you now?

- Mauvilla.

- Mauvilla.

I used to go there every year on the field trip to the mounds out there.

That was a staple.

(videographer laughing) We all went down there to see the mounds and go to the little shop out there in the Arrowhead or something like that.

I don't know if it really was from there, it's where we thought it was.

All right, we'll take it- - We thought it was.

- Yeah, we'll say it was, okay?

Well, tell me, we don't have much time, but tell me a little bit about the ministry that you have, the name of the ministry and what you do.

So, I have an organization, nonprofit organization called Healing Steps Movement.

Through that organization, because of my background, I'm a licensed Clinical Social Worker.

So, God gave me a vision in 2017 to start something for the community just to kind of give back.

What we do is focused around food insecurity.

We have a pantry called Suny's Pantry, which is in honor of my grandmother, Susie, but everyone called Suny.

So, because of her spirit, I wanted to kind of remember her and just be able to get back in that platform.

We also have, we're looking to expand.

We do a number of different things in the community such as breast cancer awareness walk.

We also do an annual youth summit focused around mental health and suicide prevention.

So, those are just some of the things that we do through the organization.

- I know you got a long list.

Now, you have been married for how long?

- Just over one year.

- Just over one year.

Congratulations.

Now, Jonathan, you are the former mayor of Akron, Alabama.

Is that correct?

- That is correct.

- Great.

And I know your service is just listed on and on and on.

But now, let me ask you this question.

And so, together, you are feeding, you're clothing, and so many other things to enrich the community.

As we get ready to close, tell us the responsibility of individuals who have more than others.

What is that responsibility, if you look straight out to the camera.

- Responsibility is to give communities, give back to our communities.

The hope we have blessed is our job.

Do a blessing back to our communities in the form of our talents, our gifts, as well as the treasure God gives.

- Great.

Okay.

Don't anything you want to say about that?

Add to that?

- No, Mr. Mayor knows exactly what to say.

- All right then.

Well, we thank you for joining us on "Alabama Gospel Roots" and if we wanna get in touch with you, how can we do that?

- Well, you can get in touch with me through our email address, which is director@healingstepsmovement.o.

Or you're welcome to contact me via phone at 205-737-3752.

Again, that number is 205-737-3752.

- Thank you for joining us.

Wish we had more time to talk about, but maybe we can have you back again.

And that's Suny's... - Suny's Pantry.

- Suny's Pantry.

That's right.

All right.

And we salute grandma for that wonderful work that she did on her own, making sure that everybody has something to eat.

- Every single Sunday, we're here.

- And when you sing, I know this, but I just want to hear you say it, what are you hoping to accomplish?

You said in the atmosphere for everything.

- We're hoping, what we always say is this is an audience point.

We are here, God's called us to be here to be leaders, but we're not here for our congregation.

I mean, we are, - Mm-hmm.

- but we're here for God.

We're here to worship Him and just, where our ultimate prayer is that we reach and touch lives by being here and hiding behind the cross and singing for Him.

- Great.

We did get a chance to meet Pastor Steve because I think he's been out with some health challenges, - Yes.

- but we want to let him know that we love and appreciate him.

Thank you for opening the doors for us to come.

It's been a wonderful experience here in Gardendale.

- Yes.

- Great.

Now, I wanna ask you to introduce everybody.

Do you know all these names?

- Oh man.

(Ashley faintly speaks) (Gina laughing) No.

So, on the far right, this is the person I've actually done praise and worship for the longest.

This is Heath (indistinct) - Okay.

There's something good left.

We're going to go home on a high, high, high note with Hope Community Church praise and worship singers.

It's been awesome the way that you have just, I mean, looks like it's a fine-tuned instrument.

So, I congratulate all of you.

Thank you for the sacrifices you make.

And I just say to you, just keep on.

There's a scripture says that go into the vineyard and work whether it was right and he says, he will pay.

All right?

- Thank you so much.

- You're quite welcome.

Now, I say this every time.

I want y'all to get ready for me.

All the, people get in the microphones, that'll save (mumbles) because you're gonna have to repeat this after me.

Everybody have a great way, be kind, smile, and someone will smile back.

Do an unexpected deed and you'll be surprised how that'll bless you, okay?

Do that now 'cause you're able and you're capable.

You just gotta be willing.

And I know that you are.

All right.

Here we go.

You ready to repeat after me?

- Yes.

- Okay.

I will not lead you into a dark place, okay?

(group laughing) All right, you just gotta trust me.

You trust me- - Okay.

- Do you trust?

Do I have trusty eyes?

- You do.

- Okay.

You laughed, you laughed.

(laughs) All right, here we go.

- [Band] We're all sisters and brothers.

- There's only one color.

- [Band] There's only one color.

- And that is - And that is - the color of love.

- the color of love.
