Jonathan Marinus, an old friend of many pipes, visited us last Monday night. We talked about lots of cool stuff. In particular, we discussed - with Matt and Tim and Jono - the possibility of a small publishing enterprise, initially focused around an insert to Wellington's bulletin, but looking to grow to something between a newsletter and a magazine. There are plenty of amazing writers, talented young artists, and folk gifted with organizational/editorial abilities among us. We particularly want to produce something to benefit our people in the local Reformed Churches. Some of the ideas we have for content include:

- upcoming events around the Wellington region
- creative work from some of our young artistic talent
- questions & reflection about how to engage all of life as representatives of God
- stories of life-experiences from some of our aged folk
- information & reviews about current political or cultural events

I think a major theme in our approach to this is a desire to establish communities that understand, reflect and work for restoration and image-bearing in all aspects of life. My sense is that we want to be more applicable, broad-based, interesting and up-to-date than Faith in Focus, which we collectively feel has no chance of achieving the goals we feel are worth striving for. It would be great if the content and usefulness of what we publish is woven from and gives back to our everyday lives and communities.

I'm really excited about this, too! My task at the the moment is to write statements of intent, vision, and intended audience - and have a go at an organizing overview.
