Great idea, Arthur! That personal connection is huge and what a great question. It gets at the deeper question of "How is your heart?"

What a gift it has been to learn from you and work with you! Thanks for your compassion and wisdom.
Posted in: Thank-ful-ness and Think-ful-ness
Thanks, Lou! I like the way that you explained thankfulness as a habit we must cultivate. This is a great reminder for those times when we don't "feel" thankful.

Sounds like some great ideas for other churches and a very sustainable directory! Thanks for sharing, Justin.
Posted in: Does Your Church Instagram?
Thanks for sharing, Angie! Sounds like your church is pretty active on Facebook. Also, you make a good point about the benefits of how Instagram displays pictures (clean and simple).

Thanks for sharing! It's very important to consider what makes sense and is most helpful in your particular context. It's a nice bonus that your half of classis also puts out a directory.

What a cool idea, Rod! It's really amazing to look back on a church year and just see a small glimpse of the many ways in which God has worked. Thanks for sharing!

Paul was the best friend you could imagine and his caring spirit, sense of humor, and love of God will stick with me for a long, long time. I will miss him so much! Thanks for sharing these reflections on a life well lived, Mark.

Thanks, Jim! Interesting that your church is using both - nice way to be inclusive. Do they plan to continue with both or only the Instant Church Directory?
