New church directory to be published for 2010 It’s been several years since we’ve had “McKendree in pictures!” Steve Kohl of KohlPhoto to direct new church directory We have long had the need to publish a new church directory. With the excitement of many new people becoming a part of the growing McKendree community, this need will be met for the new year. Steve Kohl has generously donated his time and talents to
directing the McKendree church directory that will be available at the turn of the new year. The hard copy design will allow for open access to insert new sheets of pictures and contact information as more and more people become a part of the church family over time. This will keep the directory from becoming outdated once it is released. There will also be plans to add the directory to the church website (McKendreeToday.com). More details about this will become available closer to the
November Birthdays
release date of the tangible directory. The online directory will be password protected for safe access. Photos will be taken on: Sat., Nov. 7, 1-3 p Sun., Nov. 8, 8:30-9a, 10-11a, and 12-1p Mon., Nov. 9, 9-11a Please call the church office to schedule a time for your family photo.
