About XPian News

You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world… Don’t hide your light… In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.– Matthew 5: 13-16, New Living Translation

The Meaning of XP

XP (CHI RHO)

The first letter for the Greek word for Christ is a letter called “Chi,” which looks like an English X.  The second letter for the Greek word for Christ is called “Rho,” and it looks like our letter P.  So, many of the early Christians blended together these two Greek letters to create a special monogram for Christ.

Future of XPian News

So what will XPian.news look like… local news about the Christian community in Aurora and the Fox Valley and beyond, local events, Chicago & national Christian news, local bloggers, and much more. This venture can only move forward with the support of the community… I am counting on your prayers and support.
