There are basic principles that should guide how you compose and share your church directory.īy following these principles, you can communicate cherishing, an intimacy, respectfulness, and a professionalism that you might otherwise fail to communicate if you compose your church directory informally and thoughtlessly. The way that a family displays and protects its family’s pictures and information communicates something about the diligence, care, and relational status of the family. If you were visiting a couple with children and asked to see pictures of their kids, their response to your request would say a lot.ĭo they have adult kids … but they only have pictures from when they were small?Īre all their pictures hidden in a box somewhere?Īre all their pictures informal-i.e., do they have no portraits of their family? How you portray, store, manage, and access your church directory communicates something meaningful to both your church and to church visitors. Your church directory is the window to your church’s family life.
