Set yourself as visible on ChurchSuite –  Being visible means that you'll be able to see who else is serving alongside you. Whether you're on the worship team, welcoming guests, or helping with children's ministry.  This also makes swapping easier
How to Set Yourself as "Visible":

1. Log in to your ChurchSuite account.
2. Navigate to your privacy settings.
3. Look for the "name is visible" option and ensure it's checked (you only need to make your name visible).

Eco-Tip - World Water Day, Mar 25th.   Any day can be your world water day, a reminder to contribute to water conservation for sake of our world.  Have a cooler shower, a shorter shower, a cold shower, even. Those who adopt this policy feel invigorated and enlivened, and every little helps conserve the most important resource in the world – the stuff of Life, even in our rain-soaked country
