I realize you have not heard from the Philgreens in a long time. I sincerely apologize for the lack of communication. Starting today I will be taking on a new newsletter rhythm.
First, rather than blogging once a month, I will transition to a shorter weekly blog update. There will be some sort of brief update on our activities, ministry, prayer requests, pictures, or perhaps some devotional thoughts.
Second, rather than sending a monthly newsletter, I will transition to a quarterly newsletter. This newsletter will be the one for the third quarter. The next newsletter will likely come in December. Then march, June, and so on.
There are several reasons for this new rhythm.
1. More current updates. We strongly desire to have a team that prays for us on a regular basis. Sometimes a monthly newsletter just isn’t frequent enough to accomplish that. Personally, when I read a monthly newsletter, I pray for the person as I read it, but then often forget about them the rest of the month. Our hope is that a weekly update will create more regular opportunity for you to pray for us.
2. Better fits my rigorous schedule. It has been very interesting learning the details and duties of my new role at Youthfront. The schedule, waxes and wanes seasonally, yet is quite rigorous and structured. It used to be the case that I could pause my other ministry duties temporarily and dedicate a chunk of time to newsletter writing. Now, because of my structured schedule, opportunities to write come in smaller doses.
3. More fiscally responsible. While this is not a primary reason, it is an added benefit. By increasing electronic communication and decreasing paper, we’ll have less waste and less cost, which means there is more left to do the ministry we love.
