ChurchRequel.com was fortunate to among five North Central Ohio bloggers featured in this morning's News Journal. For those who make it all the way back to page 4J of today's paper and then who actually ventured forth to search for this blog in your browsers, congratulations on completing your quest! This blog is a collection my (Mark Pierce's) writings, quips, thoughts, ideas, opinions, rants, and even a few raves. A little over a year ago Mary Kay and I began a new church in our home. We called it Church Requel. Why Requel? You've heard of sequel, right? And prequel? We wanted to be a church in the requel sense - fashioned as a New Testament church, but in a new and fresh and relevant way for today's culture. In October the home church became a public church, meeting on Sunday evenings at 6PM in the Mid-Ohio Conference Center. (For more info about the church, click here.)
While much of what I write relates to the church and its new ministry, I find so many things in today's society to be of great interest. Here are some recent non-church posts you may enjoy:
- Men of a Certain Age Not Escapism TV
- Repentance, Tiger Woods' Way
- Four Lessons Learned from Olympic Opening
- Letterman-Oprah-Leno Appealing. Why?
- Is Dropping Facebook Really the Best Solution?
Being a pastor, of course I also find much to write about in the Christian realm. Certainly most of these posts are valid for all readers, not just those who happen to attend Church Requel. Here are some of the ones that are fairly recent that may also be of benefit to you.

- Are You Still Packed Up With God?
