[EPIC] Database

IF YOU CAN DO THIS RIGHT NOW – you won’t forget it and it will really help us out!

Our group is growing and we need a better way to keep track of all the new friends (and old ones) that we have.  Therefore we are trying a new database that is interactive with you.  We will use this to sign up for events and keep better attendance as well as financial records.  It will save us A LOT of time getting started if you all will help populate the database. 

Each person, including parents, can have their own individual account. We especially need our volunteer parents to register. (A few of the teens did this Wednesday Night so you don’t have to do it again)

PLEASE REGISTER BY  CLICKING HERE and filling out as much information as you can.  Don’t worry about making mistakes or leaving it blank, we can always get back in to change it later.

In the near future, you will be able to sign up AND PAY online for events. And if you forgot that you have another event, you can log on and cancel as well.  (we can do it the old fashioned way too if you just don’t like the new stuff). 

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

YOU SHOULD DO THIS IF:

·        You are a Teen (visitors, members, anyone)

·        You are an adult worker (help teach, chaperone events) OR WANT TO BE AN ADULT WORKER

A COUPLE OF POINTERS WHEN SIGNING UP:

·        When you CLICK HERE you will be taken into a Log-in Page

·        On the right side it will say “Sign up”

·        You can put your cell # or email address in.

·        If it doesn’t recognize it (which it probably won’t) it will send you to a CREATE NEW ACCOUNT screen

·        After you fill out the initial screen and are verified (with either a text or email) you will be taken to a screen where you give us as much information as possible.

o   CLICK HERE for more information on their privacy policy

·        Give us as much information as possible – if something doesn’t make sense – leave it blank.

·        Pick a username and password you won’t forget

·        BE PATIENT – There a lot of settings on the administrator side.  If one setting is off, it could throw something off on your side.  It’s very difficult for us to cover every scenario so at some point we have to just go live and fix it as we go.  Send Mike an email at mike.brown@lafayettechurch.org if you are having problems.

[EPIC] Wednesday Night Changes

We have a change of plans for tomorrow night.  Instead of going to the nursing home, we will have a short devotional and those who are participating in LTC will present their programs.  They need a “live” audience to practice in front of.  Please plan on coming and helping to encourage your peers as they prepare to perform in Indianapolis this weekend.
