digital care
the last few months we have been doing a weekly roll for church and have worked out this is a great way to know who is with us and who needs follow up and all the "pastoral" stuff. I can totally see the benefit of this but i must admit it feels a little "clinical" a little systematic... all those things that i perhaps am not.
So why is it today i am reviewing and downloading church CRM software?? to track manage family data, attendance etc....
Now it does seem clinical and "mega-church" like.... but i dunno i reckon it might actually be good... i mean why not use the advantages of technology to better care and connect people in church...
just a thought

To be honest, rolls at church related stuff tingles my Big Brother nerve (the good Big Brother not the tv crappy mccrapcrap)...
Please don't go down the clinical, ultraorganized path andy...
Provided you will use it to actually care for people, rather than just keep tabs on them ... I can't see the problem
true true meg.... if its a case of "You wernt at church you naughty boy" then its Big Brother...
but if its like "we realy want to make sure your cared and prayed for" then its pretty good...
of cause its a fine line...
Any Tool is only as effective as the person who uses it...
Do you have the over enthustaic welcome people on the doors ??
no no.... in fact we did a little skit about "over enthustaic welcomers" it was funny....
Hehehe... I remember that one. Something about bunnies, sunshine and happiness.
sounds like a day in the life of me...I'm used to marking rolls...but I don't suppose you can then give detentions for skipping church?
