Hutterite Meanderings

I've posted twice on the Hutterite documentary on my blog so far. The two posts are Communities and Work and Discerning Persecution.

There's a lot more to say, of course, and I may, in due course, manage to say it.

1st Newsletter Published: Any Comments?

Jack recently emailed the newsletter to branch members. The next one will come out in April.

The Glorious Return From the Land Beneath the House

Mark made the long and harrowing trek under Bab's house to assess the damage. We went to replace a wax ring under a toilet and found some water damage. We removed a lot of rotten wood, and we are not done yet!

Amanda and Debbie

Amanda has volunteered to send in a recipe and Debbie has volunteered to write a review on Pastwatch, has sent in Mary Hannah's soccer schedule, and will write an article about Dorrie and Julia's trip to the UK. I'll ask her for a picture of them with some beautiful place in the UK in the background.
I need Matthew's hockey schedule, MJ's gymnastics, and John's lacrosse and more if it's available.

Keeping Track Of It All

Hopefully, this will be a place where many of us post, and even more of us comment. I'd like to see friends and family members become regular commenters here. What we do in our lives obviously effects theirs.

To that end, you may notice an orange icon in your browser, which will point you to our RSS feed. Alternatively, you can click here. RSS feeds are a way to get the content to come to you. I use Google Reader to keep track of all the things I read on the web, but there are other options out there.

Feedblitz, for instance, will take the RSS feed and turn it into an email for you. Don't consider this an endorsement because I've never used their service, but if you Google for "RSS to email" you will find many other options. There are also other options for feed readers too.

Starting a newsletter

We plan to start a new branch newsletter in the next two weeks. This blog will serve as an area for feedback on the newsletter and articles in the newsletter. We anxiously await your feedback.
