About this Resource

The first issue is here! And frankly, it’s not a moment too soon. You’ve probably sensed that God is doing some exciting stuff in the St. Peter family, so these e-letter updates are meant to spark our anticipation so that we can be on the lookout for His work among us—“God Sightings,” as some people call them. Our prayer is that those sparks of anticipation will spread the Good News of Jesus like wildfire, extending throughout our congregation, into the community, and out to the world.

A note before you read. This is not an effort to restore the classic old church newsletter. You know, the one cranked out on a mimeograph machine with aromatic ink and clip art in the columns.  It had its day. Unfortunately it was often like painful tooth extraction to recruit authors for those journals, and sometimes more painful to read. This resource is meant to be a simple briefing, like a blog. Blogs are online journals with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, and space for interaction. As you’ll notice, you can follow the links to read full articles on our website. You can subscribe to our podcast, forward to a friend (please do!), or visit us on Facebook if you click on the links at the bottom of the e-letter. Soon we’ll have a calendar link so you can keep up with a schedule of events.

Ultimately, our hope is that this e-letter can be a catalyst for fresh and engaging conversation, and that it strengthens our unity as a Christian family. Happy reading!
