iSNARK! 188


Listen below, or download here. (36:49/33.7 MB)


Have you ever sang certain hymns and wonder just where they went?  Well, today we start a little series of hymns that we miss over here, and we're using a hymnal that I'll bet is hardly remembered - the 1976 (premiere) edition of We Celebrate (The picture on the left is one of the logos I describe).  We combed through just the first 50 hymns alone and you should see what we came up with.  Also, we combed through all four editions of Worship and came up with a new hymnal containing the best of all four: Worship - Ultimate Edition!
PLUS: Duck and cover (just ask Shamus O'Reilly), and a law student who wants to play, but doesn't want to pay!

Feasts for the Week: March 11-18
In What We Have Done, and in What We're Going to Do: the "have done" for First Friday and the Second Sunday of Lent, and the "going to do" for the Third Sunday of Lent.
