Updating the church address book

For the last three years, we've revised the church address book and given regular members the opportunity to share their contact information. Of course, not everyone wants to be listed, and many people choose to keep mobile or work numbers private. But being listed in the address book is one way in which we make ourselves known to each other - it's a small but significant way of building fellowship. Fellowship may be a 'churchy' word, but in the gospels it indicates a partnership and mutual commitment that goes beyond the current fashion for 'community'.

Church is more, much more, than a social institution. But the web of relationships and friendships that church sustains is not insignificant in our living out of the gospel. If you're a member of St Paul's, or just come along from time to time, do make sure you get your details in the new revision. And many thanks to Alastair for his time and effort in getting the invitations and printing just right.
