THIRSTY 182

Welcome to our first THIRSTY podcast for the new year. I am Pastor Michael Zarling.

And I'm Pastor Nathan Klusmeyer.

And, you know, Nathan, you're, uh, don't take this the wrong way, but you're not quite as nice looking as the last two people I had as hosts on the podcast.

Thank you.

It is... Uh, yeah, that was fun having Bell and, Bell and Shelly on it. And what was nice with them is, well, they appreciated it, is I gave them the questions I was gonna ask too. I even gave them the answers too. And I said, "Just so you know, Nathan doesn't get any of this stuff."

What, the answers?

Yeah, or even the questions-

No, but-

... ahead of time.

No. I was gonna say, and I'm glad you don't give me the answers, 'cause then I can give the correct answers.

That's true. That's true. Uh, so we're gonna be looking at, um, not a New Year's theme, but this is one of those years where we have a second Sunday after Christmas. So the theme is Christ the Savior is Born, the Dawn of Redeeming Grace. And so our hymns that we're gonna be singing are still Christmas hymns. Uh, Come Your Hearts and Voices Raising, The Only Son from Heaven. We'll have a communion hymn, Hear, O Lord, I See You Face to Face. And then this is from the supplement, but I guess the people here love it, is Peace Came to Earth.

We are singing Come Your Hearts and Voices Raising, The Only Son from Heaven, Once in Royal David's City, and Silent Night.

Wow. All right. Did you sing Silent Night on Christmas Eve?

Yes, with candles.

Yes, 'cause I think that's a e-

I-

That's an easy way for-

Well-

... a pastor to get run out of a church if-

Yep

... he doesn't sing Silent Night on the last hymn for Christmas Eve.

Mm-hmm.
