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.
Well, first of all, he could fight pirates and stuff in his own time. Then if he time travels, it might be interesting if he goes to a 20th-century fencing match and surprises some people by showing off his 18th-century skills. . .And then just about any fight scene can become an opportunity for a sword to come into play, which would be especially interesting if some of the fights occur in exotic locales linked to the plot's historical backdrop. Also, in addition to knowing fencing, Nathaniel might know some of the hand-to-hand fighting styles of his time, which could also be interesting. Maybe his fencing master taught him fighting in general.
Designing a pamphlet's a lot of work! I've done a few of those for martial arts schools.
