Hey, everyone. Welcome to the OnScript podcast and a happy new year to all of you on behalf of

0:27.6

the OnScript team. This is Matt Lynch. I'm coming to you from Cheltenham in the UK and where

0:33.4

I teach at Westminster Theological Center. And on behalf of the whole team at OnScript, we hope that you have a wonderful new year.

0:43.2

1:46.2

willing to forget that 501st anniversary.
