April 2022 — Koinonia’s Recommended Stories & Notes for Writers
Happenings — a monthly update for readers and writers of Koinonia Publication
A note from Julie
Here at Koinonia, we want to help you start your day off just right. Please visit our homepage for a quick daily devotional and more fantastic content from our writers.
Our writers cover a variety of topics every month, but… what about rapists, murderers, unexpected companions, coveting, and loose pages? What really killed Jesus? Scroll down and read something provocative. We’ve got all that and more.
This newsletter includes publication statistics for the month of April; recommended reading; tips and content for writers; and concluding remarks.

Our past newsletters announced the monthly scripture prompt. We’ll no longer announce the next prompt in this newsletter. Writers should visit the Koinonia homepage and the Koinonia Writer’s group on Facebook for monthly prompt updates. Click for the May Prompt verse and our simple style requirements.
In our private Facebook group for Koinonia writers, our writers share their own stories and favorites written by others. Here are some highlights from April’s weekly share-a-thon (long-form, poetry, and short-form):
