How To Edit the Elders Roster

and other useful things about the Elders' Roster.

About this Roster

This roster is automatically generated. You can read how this is done in RosterAutomaticAllocation. The EldersRosterPreferences page is available for you to express your preferences as for which services you want to be rostered, and you can ask not to be rostered on a particular day by using the UNAVAILABLE column, as described in the Edit Instructions above.

If you are unavailable for a particular day, please enter your name in the UNAVAILABLE column for that day.

It is assumed that putting your name in only one unavailable time slot for the day (8am is the preferred time) means that you are unavailable for the whole day, and the rostering system will not allocate you for that day. (Note that the new automatic system does not handle partial unavailability for a particular day.) If you need instructions on how to edit this page, scroll to the end of this page.

This roster shows the definitive allocations for the next 4 Sundays. It will be automatically updated each Wednesday, at 40 minutes past midnight, Melbourne Time. All "unavailable" updates beyond the next 4 sundays can continue to be made until the Wednesday update, when the first tentative sunday will be moved to the definitive roster. This allows you to be flexible about your future commitments, while giving certainty over what is happening in the next four weeks. The more people are able to notify their unavailability in the future, the less changes will happen in the tentative roster.

Enter your dates for unavailability either by editing this page, or by contacting the ChurchOffice or JohnHurst.

Past sundays are shown at EldersRosterPrevious.

A tally of allocations over both the last 52 weeks and the next 52 weeks can be seen at EldersDutyTally.
