Not always, anyway.” That got a bit of a chuckle, and he continued, “Still, we do give you a warm welcome to our meeting tonight, and we give a special welcome to Craig, who’s been here before and with whom we’ve had good fellowship.” He explained how the evening would unfold: “We’ll have a couple of hymns and a prayer, and then I’ll hand over to Craig for an update.
