We just finished the process of completing our third church directory.  Each one has been different and each has been a pleasure to work on.  This one was for the church that we attend (Willoughby Hills Friends Church) and it was good to get to know each of the individuals we photographed a little bit more.

The cover was a special (and secret) part of the process and was only revealed at the very end.  It was especially important to me.  It was a mosaic of Jesus Christ’s face made out of the images of all of those we photographed (or submitted pictures).  It represents how as believers in Christ, we are all part of the same body.  I think it’s especially fitting at Easter time.  (Following the image is a note about the cover that was included on the inside front cover of the printed directories.)  Take a look at it’s uniqueness and I hope it encourages you.

Happy Easter!

ABOUT THE COVER

“The Body of Christ”by Tim O’Keefe

The Church is not merely a building.  The Church is the collective group of those who believe in and follow Jesus Christ…in Willoughby Hills, Ohio… and around the globe.

No doubt you have looked intently to see where your picture appears on the cover.  We hope this photo mosaic helps you remember an Important point.  While, we are each different and unique, God created each one of us to work together- to complement and complete each other.  We want to encourage you to remember this so that individually, and collectively, the world will see us unified as we represent Jesus Christ in all we do.  Remember, we are His ambassadors whether we minister full-time in South Africa, Russia, or China, but also while we talk with our neighbor from across the street and go grocery shopping.
