Hey, I bet Nathaniel would know fencing! That could make some cool subplots.
That church secretary stuff sounds like a lot of work! I used to have this one preacher friend who handled all that stuff himself and I remember him always scrambling to get the church bulletin and everything else done every week.
have tried to put out a newsletter...we're so tiny that we scarcely have much to print on a regular basis. Our priest just recently moved down from Central Texas, so having him closer might make it easier to put something out, but I am sole writer/report/printer of it all. Its like juggling gossip...trying to pin down a start point is half the job.
Mostly what I have been trying to do is put together a pamphlet for a woman who works in the area as a kind of 'welcome wagon' for anyone who moves into the new subdivisions. New houses are popping up like weeds all over the place. She sees about 40 people a month, and gives them all the literature/brochures/freebies that the local businesses and churches have to get newcomers familiar with their new digs. We are hiring her because hardly anyone knows we are there, and besides putting up a huge sign and advertizing in the newspaper, which would eat up what meager income the church gets, we dont have much means to get people to our church. So we are designing/printing a new pamphlet for her ot give out to the families she visits and hopefully she will be able to steer new people our way.
Im very hopeful of this because I love this church.
