As part of our 50th Anniversary celebration, we published a 147-page souvenir book, <em>Call of Service,<\/em> which chronicles the fascinating and inspirational history of WIHS. Authors Susanna, Julianna, and Lydia Bennett spent several years rounding up information, and did an outstanding job writing and laying out the book with pictures and memories of past and present staff members. You&#8217;ll read about how WIHS got started, and be encouraged by how the Lord helped the founders to overcome seven years of struggle before the station went on the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color\" style=\"color:#0f0f0f;font-size:17px\">We maintain a small inventory of souvenir books at the WIHS office. Hard copies are $30 each, paperback copies are $15 each. Please contact Drew Crandall at 860.871.6500 if you would like to order copies directly from the publisher. He can help you to navigate through the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that WIHS (We&#8217;re In His Service) was the pioneer in Christian radio broadcasting in Connecticut?
