It's that time folks!  We are finally planning a new church directory! The value of an up-to-date church photo directory is undeniable, now more than ever. A church directory helps people put names to faces. Remembering who everyone is — and who “belongs” with whom — can be challenging. Seniors might know most of the other seniors, and youth might know most of their peers, but it’s unlikely that all members can identify one another.

A directory also helps new members and staff can get up to speed quickly. A compilation of faces, names and contact information is especially useful for people who are new to the congregation, whether in the pews or in leadership. Learning lots of names is much easier when a current photo directory is handy.

A church directory also encourages relationships. Achieving a family-like feel and building community are important goals for First United Methodoist Church. But personal connections can’t happen if people are strangers! A photo directory provides a sense of belonging and indicates that members are part of a special group.

Please take a minute and fill out the online form (one profile per family member). We want to make sure the contact information we include in the directory is up to date.  Once we have collected everyone's info we will start scheduling photo appointments!
