Weekly Services Scheduling
You have several options when scheduling weekly services.
Group people by their week of service
In this scenario, the church creates groups based on the week of service and communicates with people in those groups in advance of that week. In this scenario, a teacher may be in multiple groups.
Use Group Roles that indicate weeks of service
In this scenario, the church uses group roles to quickly find, select, and communicate with people based on their group roles. Example roles are Teacher 1&3, Teacher 2&4, Teacher 5, Teacher Sub, and Teacher All. In this scenario, teachers may be listed multiple times in a single group.
Use the RSVP feature through My Groups
In this scenario, the church has individual leaders of groups send RSVP emails to the teachers and leaders of their groups, and they manage the expected attendance of their team from week-to-week. For best results, the groups should be explicitly listed by the staff as part of the events in which they serve.
Use the Service Notification
In this scenario, the church connects the appropriate serving groups to upcoming events. These group(s) should have Send Service Notification set to Yes. Each week, the system automatically sends a service reminder email to those scheduled to serve.
