“Greater Things” Thursday #19: A Newer, New Members’ Board!

The 2011 theme at Lebanon Road is “Greater Things.” For an introduction and video about our theme, click here. Each Thursday, we are informing you of an area through which we are seeking greater things.

—————————————–

A few weeks ago in our Greater Things Thursday, we told you about our New Members’ Board. It was exciting to see this board and to see that we had a nice-looking way to help our members put names with faces, and to distribute addresses and phone numbers so directories could remain as up-to-date as possible.

Well, we ran into a problem, but it was the kind of problem we love to have. We had too many new members! We were not being able to leave anyone up on the board for more than a few weeks before they had to come down for more new members. Yes, I know, if this is a problem…bring on more problems like it!

So, we had to expand our board. But, since we are striving for “Greater Things,” we also didn’t just want it to be larger. We wanted to make it nicer looking, so that it “fits” in our lobby in a clean looking way. I think that was accomplished.

Leah did the vast majority of the work on this, and I think it turned out very nicely. Here is what it looks like now.

The “old” board could hold just 8 pictures. We have had more than 8 people either baptized or place membership just since that was put up, so we expanded this one to hold 12 (and, if absolutely necessary, 14) pictures and information cards.

Again, it is a great problem to have, but it was a problem. We are glad the board turned out as nicely as it did, and can help us keep the pictures up for a few more weeks, so our members can put faces to names.

Lebanon Road folks, pray that this board isn’t big enough! And make use of the information cards, so that your directories can be up-to-date with all our members.
