Just last week, Huff became Interim Presbyterian Pastor for the next five months, from January to June 2007. Mr. Huff will favor people with a solo spiritual. Also, he will lead folks in singing the rousing hymn \u201cHe\u2019s Got the Whole World in His Hands.\u201d<br \/>\nThe Westminster Choir will transport listeners back to the long-ago days of their Bible school and church camp years with their lighthearted rendition of the spiritual called \u201cThis Little Light of Mine, I\u2019m Going to Let it Shine\u201d.
