[Oe List ...] What a Community

[Wilson Priscilla]

I sent the words to the hymn to our music director at church this  
morning. He replied that he and the organist had just been discussing  
using it this Sunday...and decided to wait until another Sunday as  
another hymn fit the sermon subject better.
I'll find out from him what book he has it in if you still need to  
know that.
