Newsletter

Practical ideas. Honest conversations. Encouragement for churches trying to do faithful ministry with limited time, money, and energy.

The After Supper newsletter is a bi-weekly email from Gillian and Shawn.

It’s written for:

  • small congregations
  • solo clergy and lay leaders
  • overstretched church teams
  • dioceses and ministry organizations
  • people trying to lead change without burning everyone out

Every edition is designed to be useful, grounded, and realistic. No hype. No “10 easy steps to save your church.” Just thoughtful ideas, practical tools, stories from real ministry contexts, and conversations that help churches move forward.

 

What You’ll Receive

Every two weeks, we’ll send:

  • practical leadership and ministry insights
  • stewardship and fundraising ideas that actually fit smaller churches
  • communication tips and examples
  • free tools, templates, and resources
  • reflections on mission, change, and church culture
  • occasional webinars, workshops, and conversations

Some editions will be short and practical. Others more reflective. All of them written from the perspective of people actively working with churches and ministry leaders across Canada.

Why “After Supper”?

Some of the best church conversations don’t happen in boardrooms.

They happen after the meeting.
After the fundraiser.
After the service.
After supper.

Around kitchen tables, parish halls, campfires, and coffee cups.

That’s the spirit behind this newsletter:
honest conversation, practical wisdom, and encouragement for the road ahead.
