Church Rosters

CommunicationsCommittee, at its 11 May 2010 meeting, decided to streamline roster management within the church. To this end, rosters will be removed from the weekly bulletin, and replaced by a once-a-month insert to the bulletin. These inserts will be generated automatically from the church wiki. In addition, a weekly update of rosters will be posted to one of the church notice boards, so that people without computer access to the wiki can review any roster commitments they may have.

One of the advantages of this change is that weekly reminders of roster commitments will be sent (automatically!) to all people who have registered an email address on the church wiki. This will allow the church office to devote more time to matters such as pastoral concerns, and to assisting the ministers in their worship preparation and pastoral care. Church Council believes that the church must focus more upon these areas in order to create a more inclusive community.

Church Council and CommunicationsCommittee both believe that improving church communications in this way will be of benefit to all. For those who do not have computer access, the office will supply printed copies of relevant documents on request, and key documents (such as rosters) will be posted in prominent places on church notice boards. Members of the congregation are also reminded that there is an office computer available (through the window) for casual users to browse the web and wiki pages. Help on how to use this facility is available, just ask at the office.

For archival purposes, old versions of these rosters are kept. You can find a list on ChurchRostersPast.

Elders

• Elders/RosterCurrent

note to editors - the current roster has been changed to always be on the page Elders/RosterCurrent. This is to avoid having to change the Elders Prayers Reminder program each time the roster changes. Before a new roster is prepared, the old roster should be copied to a page named with the months and years (shown above for JulSep2010), and then the current roster can be updated with new roster information. The links above should be appropriately adjusted.

Worship

The new format for worship rosters will partition the various aspects into separate, individual rosters. Hence there will be one roster page for Bible Readings, one for organ/band/choir, one for preaching, one for lectionary, etc.. This is done so that only one roster needs to be changed as things evolve. It is intended that composite rosters will be eventually formed from composite auto-generation, that is, new comprehensive rosters will be made automatically from the individual ones.
