How did somebody who describes herself as “in-print person,” who didn’t even like blogs, wind up writing a blog? I put this question to Laura Rendall, who started the Ames/Des Moines CityChurch blog in 2015. “My original idea was for a CityChurch magazine-type,newsletter in printed form,” she said. “I had the idea probably a year after we first deconstructed into smaller churches [in 2010].”
