My name is Elder Edwina Robbison.  It is a pleasure to have you as a member of True Holiness Walnut Hills.

I have learned of holiness from the time I was a teenager.  It was during my early teenage years that my mother, Bishop Eddita Tolber, was filled with the Holy Ghost, in a tent revival in Wyoming, Ohio.  She later joined an organized congregation in Lockland, Ohio and that is where my formal biblical education began.  Therefore, I am confident that your membership here at this church will also be a season of growth in the knowledge of God and His righteousness, as you participate in all the Tuesday night Bible studies and Sunday school sessions, through the leadership of our senior pastor.

It was later in my adult years that I came to know the Lord Jesus in the pardon of my sins.  In 1976, I received the Holy Ghost at True Holiness Church of God of Silverton, Ohio and was welcomed into the church as a new member, just like you are in this season of your life.  [In 2004, the Silverton church name was changed to True Holiness Covenant of Peace Assembly of Silverton.]

A few years later, while serving in the Silverton church, the Lord led me to the newly formed Woodlawn church to work.  It was there that I was called into the ministry and ordained Evangelist in 1988.

In 1989, I transferred my membership to the Loveland church, which, in 2004, moved to the Walnut Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio.  My work in Walnut Hills is currently as a mother in the church since 1989, ordained Elder 2015, and member of Pastor’s Staff, and serve on the Trustee Board.

To the new members at Walnut Hills, I extend to you a hearty welcome. It’s good and a blessing to have you as part of our church family.
