Normally, May and June are not a time where Church magazines are filled with content, as the big Church dates of Easter and Christmas and the common Church summer holiday events like fetes and outings are elsewhere in the year. Luckily, I was inundated with items.
A member sent in a fantastic article about supporting the Church, and our resident poet, a member of the youth group and choir, send me a poem she had written for, and performed at, the groups Church service.
Similarly, an Elder gave me two poems, included in a book to be shared with Church groups. Oddly, it was almost impossible to find the author and poet, the book or even the poems online. Once found, I emailed the author to verify that they were her poems, and that printing them in a Church magazine was indeed allowed.
Fantastically, she replied immediately, more than happy; sharing her poems was her intention, and she was glad that we liked them.
I also had topical items, both sad and happy, which were not submitted. Sadly, the mother of a Church member, and a person who had lived a full and fantastic life, passed away. To announce this, I wrote a small piece about the life she had lived, and the things she had achieved. On a happier note, I was able to share the news of a Church member's 50th birthday, and include a piece about some fundraising I am doing.
