Secure Side of the Web Site and Publishing Bulletins
Grace URC wanted a secure side to their web site where members could login securely. Once logged in, the members have access to other members contaction information, church documents they share and the ability to leave prayer requests. They also publish their church bulletins each week online. It's a great way to stay up to date and stay connected! They have members in assisted living that are unable to attend worship services that login each week to read the bulletin.
Church 'live' Stream Woship Services
Grace URC 'live' streams their worship services to YouTube each week. With the user of a widget, they simply include the HTML code provided by YouTube to easily setup a way for members and non-membes to stream the worship services. They also subscribe to SermonAudio and with another widget are easily able to display a past history of uploaded audio of sermons.

…with no added effort from you! When a family registers to be part of your church, they are keying in their own information which, with your 1-click approval, will become a part of your Member Directory. It’s that easy!
The online directory makes it simple for your families to contact each other. There are even optional Google map links to help families find nearby homeschooling friends.
