Many churches encourage their small groups to record weekly attendance. Why? Because it helps them offer better pastoral care to their members. But let’s be honest - with how busy small group leaders often are, it can be a challenge getting all groups to log this consistently. That’s why we’re excited about a new feature we've launched that takes the hassle out of the process, making it easier to remember and simpler to submit.
Never Forget with Automated Reminders
Forgetting to record attendance? We’ve got you covered. Now, a small group member with the right role can receive weekly reminder emails - automatically. Once you enable it for your group, the system takes care of the rest. No more forgetting in the midst of busy schedules - the right person gets a friendly nudge each week to submit the group’s attendance through My ChurchSuite. You can even customise the email on a per-group basis.
One Click to Submit
Submitting attendance shouldn’t feel like a chore. That’s why the reminder email includes a handy link. One click takes you straight to a page where you can quickly log the week’s attendance - it's that simple.
Solving two common hurdles
We’ve noticed two things often trip churches up when it comes to small group attendance: people forgetting to submit the data, and the perceived effort it takes to do it. Our new tool tackles both head-on. Automated reminders keep it on everyone’s radar, and a simple, clickable process cuts the workload. Simply activate it by editing the group in question and clicking the check box to enable "Attendance reminders" and you're good to go. The result? You get the reliable data you need to care well for your congregation. Check out our support article on small group attendance to get started!
