Clergy, have you looked at this tool?
The Rev. Deacon Marty Garwood (St. Andrews, Rapid City) and The Rev. Dr. Christina O'Hara (Good Shepherd, Sioux Falls) shared with us last year the possibilities of this technology and how it could help congregations.
Does this app work, YES, is it perfect, NO, Can it be helpful, YES, does it work for every congregation, NO. But, isn't it wonderful to try new things? To try and adapt old practices with new technology. And to see if one small adjustment could make a tiny aspect of your job easier.
As my children like to tell me, "Work smarter not harder".
If you haven’t heard, the General Convention Office has launched an online version of the Register of Church Services. This app allows data to sync directly with the Parochial Report, making it easier for individuals to collect and enter information each year.
In just the first month of syncing with the Parochial Report, we’ve received valuable feedback to enhance the app’s functionality. We are committed to making continuous improvements to better support your needs.
To register for the app, please use the link below. You will need your Unique Episcopal Identifier (UEID) to complete the registration. If you don't know your UEID, you can find it using the provided link.
