Some might ask why, in today’s age of computers and cell phones, why we would want a new church directory. Sure, we can store each other’s numbers and addresses in our phones, and most of us know each other pretty well so we don’t need photos to know each other, but there are a number of reasons why an updated church directory is a good thing:
· It is a huge help to new members. Even though our church isn’t large, it can be intimidating for new people to learn everyone. A current directory gives them a leg up on learning everyone!
· It is a record of a time in the history of our church. When they grow up, your kids and grandkids will love looking back at what our church was like.
· Not everyone stores all their information in their phones! Some people still enjoy having a physical place to store all their important contact information.
· The directory also has birthdays and anniversaries—it’s a great way to make sure you don’t miss celebrating each others’ special days!
I’ll have the directory pages in the entryway again today, and Kim will be available once more for photos if you haven’t gotten yours yet! If I still need something from you, you may be getting a call from me!
