NEW FCC PICTORIAL DIRECTORY
We need your help in creating a new pictorial directory for First Christian Church. We are inviting all members, friends, and active participants to give a few moments of your time to have your picture taken for this project.
Professional photographers will take portraits at the church on Tuesday, Oct. 14; Wednesday, Oct. 15; Friday, Oct. 31; and Saturday, Nov. 1. All appointments should be made online HERE. If you require help in making your online appointment, you may either contact Chris in the church office at 991-5000, or stop by the computer table in the narthex before or after worship on any Sunday in September.
Our new directories will be available before Christmas. Every participating family or individual will receive a free 8” x 10” photograph of your picture that is used in the directory. You will also have the opportunity to purchase additional portraits from Lifetouch, but you will be under no obligation to do so.
Thank you in advance for being a part of this important project. Remember, our directory isn’t complete without YOU!
Click here to make your appointment now!
