Another Edition Is Ready

I am the editor of our church newsletter.  I usually have it prepared to be printed by the 25th of the month.  This month I'm really late because I was away from home for one week and couldn't collect news and people didn't send me their news. 

I've always threatened that if I couldn't find enough news for the monthly newsletter, I could just make it up.  We always laugh about that and I do my best to "spin straw into gold," instead of making it up when I have only little things to write about.

Last night, I actually did what I threatened.  I made up some news!  Since the newsletter will reach the people on or just before April Fool's Day, I made the front page news an April Fool's article.  I hope the people will be pleasantly surprised and not annoyed by it.  But I didn't have enough real news to fill out the newsletter this month.  My cover story is about an unscheduled meeting that was called with short notice for the first Thursday in April.  Then I had people of the congregation who never do special music sing solos and duets.  Some gave readings in a meeting which lasted two and a half hours.  Everything about the meeting was unusual.  I wonder if anyone will be fooled.
