Recently, our office computer crashed and could not be
repaired. We purchased a new computer and software
(old software would not work on the new operating
system). The cost to replace the computer and software
would have been $994.15, but with rebates and recycling
rewards, it was $870.65, a savings of $123.50.
Unfortunately, there is one other program which I cannot
reinstall which is for our records and is called Church
Windows. My program was from 2004 and, when I
couldn’t install it myself, I emailed the company. I was
told that the program is too old and that I must purchase
an updated version at a cost $379. It is very valuable in
making sure our records are complete as it tracks births,
baptisms, marriages, membership and everything needed
for good recordkeeping. I can load the member information
from the old program from back-up to the new
version. If anyone is willing to donate to the purchase of
this software, please indicate that on the offering
envelope which can be found in the pews.
Office Notes || Windows Crash!
In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock at night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. And so the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. — Luke 2:8-11 (NASV)
