Welcome!

I am writing this this introductory blog on a beautiful April Saturday. Two days ago on April 21 would have been my dad’s 103rd birthday. It made me think about a legacy and what dad would want for me. I believe that he would want me to continue with a God honoring life. So after weeks of work, today is the day to launch a new website, XPian News, xpian.news. This site will reflect my love for the body of Christ in my adopted city of Aurora, my hometown of Batavia and the Fox Valley and beyond. Hopefully these pages will be filled with news that reflects the faith community in action. Also I will be introducing new guest bloggers.

I would hope that you could help me sustain this work with your readership, prayers, submission of news releases and tips, advertising, and sponsorship.

So let us begin!
