You'll Need A Bigger Cup! (Newsletter Archives)

Every week we send out our "Parousia Weekly E-Letter." These letters are intended to keep you updated regarding our various on-going ministry activities, to provide you with insights for what it means to be a counter-cultural witness to a Post-Christian culture, and articles designed to encourage you to become the Church that meets in your house. So, pour yourself a really big cup of your favorite brew (including you English breakfast and Chai tea types) and click here to read current and past issues of our "award winning" weekly newsletter  (well, we gave ourselves the award, 'cause we felt after six years of doing this we deserved it!). To subscribe electronically you can click on the RSS button below, or the one above on the right side of the URL Address. Save the bookmark to your toolbar and each week's e-letter will be listed as the first item in the list. To receive our weekly e-letter in your e-mail just type SUBSCRIBE in the subject line of a blank e-mail and send it to newsletter@parousianetwork.org. We'll do the rest!
