That's right.
I had some thoughts, but now I'm not sure I want to share them if I'm being recorded.
I've used the email notification feature and the only thing that's a little bit strange is there no
confirmation that your email got sent.
So you pick a list, you choose the people that you want, you type up the email, you hit send, and it's just like boop.
And there's no way to see.
that the email got sent. And I think, if I remember correctly, it doesn't send the email to you.
I think the workaround for that would be to add yourself
to any communication.
Yeah.
Which is annoying, but it might be annoying.
that might be a way to just verify.
Okay. I was wondering if anyone else today, it might have been user error because I've only done it, I think, once or twice and
I had texted Neil and Craig actually to find out if the
If the email went out, they both said it did, but I had no way to
firm.
Yeah, I guess I typically…
see if I receive it myself.
And I'm typically on the list.
So like, for instance, I sent one out about this
Zoom link this morning.
And I received it.
That's when I knew I…
It was successful.
So I wonder if when I send it
to myself it goes into my junk folder. I'll have to make sure to check that.
Oh, yeah. Okay.
Alex, I experienced the same problem when I sent it to a group of people. I couldn't find
any reference to show that I had sent it either. And I hadn't sent it to myself.
So there's not a listing then of sent emails.
like you get on the other email lines.
There is a way
I don't know that it's…
I don't know who all has this function.
But in the settings function, there is something called history
that you can click on and see.
I can see the emails that I've sent, but I don't know if everybody has that. And we can specifically look at that.
And I can show you all where that
Or that.
where that is. Again, I'm not sure
I'm not sure. Some of these things might be…
It's like dependent on dependent on
status or like your level of like if you're a
whatever your login status is. So we'll take a look at that and see what everybody
has access to and if there's a way that we can
include that for everyone.
We'll try to do that.
Hi, Joanne.
Hi, thanks for waiting.
Yeah, no problem.
Okay, so there's a few things.
that will…
I wanted to take a look at the um
The desktop version of some things. And then I also wanted to take a look at
the mobile version on some things because different people are going to use
breathes differently. And there might be questions
For both types.
So I just thought we could run through some things on the desktop version first and then switch over to the
mobile version
So let me share my screen.
Okay, so…
this out of the way.
So when everybody logs into breeze
Well, first of all, I guess first things first, is everybody able to log into Breeze? Has anybody had any troubles with that?
No.
We haven't tried.
Okay.
If you need me to, I can send you another invitation.
And kind of after the meeting, I can sort of help walk you through like getting logged in if you want.
Thank you.
Yeah, no problem.
So whenever you log in.
if nobody else is having problems, you'll have a dashboard
that will show like that you can customize. So you should be able to
change the different things that you see.
on your dashboard.
so like
very popular ones that I would think
people would want to see.
would be upcoming events.
And then there are other things that you can see. I'm not sure what everybody has access to, but
I think upcoming events would be probably
The most important one that everyone would want to be able to see
Just so that you can kind of see
you know.
whatever the things that are coming up. So today we have the Breeze tutorial meeting. Wednesday night, we have the Wednesday night study.
you know, the regular things that are coming up
But that's just the dashboard.
And you can customize it to a certain extent to add some things but um
that isn't as important as some of these other functions. The few things that I really wanted to touch on were the people
the tags, the events, and the forms
And then if you have questions as we're going, just feel free to jump in and ask.
But so for the people, this is essentially the directory.
And…
all of the
all the people who had been in the former directory are now
were uploaded onto
this current
the people's file.
And we can add new people as people are coming to the chapel.
we can…
kind of like if if uh you know if
folks move away or whatever we can we can
We can save their information, but they wouldn't necessarily be part of the
the viewable active members of the chapel
And we'll probably have to
have some kind of a conversation along the way of how to best handle those kinds of situations.
But as of right now.
the people are
kind of limited to our current members and like the Bassets who are are commended workers and rich and zobech are commended workers, people like that so
There are…
multiple ways that you can find people. One is just simply scrolling through the whole entire list.
Another way is to search. So if we wanted to look up Joanne
Polzinski, then I could type in her name and she would come up
all of the Joann's would obviously populate that way.
So those are our ways.
that we can find people. I found this helpful already.
There's been a couple times where I've had to
When I've not been at home where I've had to find somebody's address or phone number and I've been able to consult the
the Breeze app and get that information on the go, which is I've found to be really helpful.
Yes.
Luke, what does the M mean after the phone number?
It's mobile.
Okay.
So some people will have…
we'll look at Nate Appleton. I'm not sure.
Well, we'll look up me because I think I have…
a couple numbers in there.
Okay.
So I have my mobile phone number, which would be the M, and then I have my work phone number listed, which would be
Okay.
I'm assuming, which would be a W, I don't know.
Okay.
But, you know, great for any kind of like landline or, you know, if you have more than one number, you can include those in here.
Okay.
So…
There's a little thing that says enroll to receive text messages.
That would be…
I think the beneficial part of the
mobile showing that it's a mobile number.
Okay. So I have just…
enrolled in receiving text messages. So I can receive text messages now, which we'll go into.
Okay.
But since we're on my page, we can just talk about how to update information.
So the main
information my name
birthday, anniversary.
So there's a limited amount of information
that we can include
First and last name, gender, marital status, birthday, anniversaries.
Okay.
So whatever information you want to
include about yourself, feel free to do that.
And then I don't know that the families are perfect yet.
I went through and I tried to connect as many of them. I think I got everybody, but
If you're on there and you recognize that like
your spouse isn't listed as your spouse or your child isn't listed as your child.
you might be able to change it. And if you can't, let me know and I will do whatever I can. I think I went through and got everybody
But I'm not 100% sure. But that's what the family is. It's just the people in your family.
So that can be…
edited as edited as
your family's your family
change, you know, children grow up and they're not here. They're still your children, but they're not your children anymore
we can make those edits or somebody gets married, somebody has a child, all those kinds of things we can
we can kind of change these out.
Alex had a question.
Yeah.
Out for you.
Yep. Okay. Can you hear me now?
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
All right. So I had a question about the children. First thing is our family's not perfect yet.
We're working on it though we um
Okay.
we'll get our glorified bodies at some point in the future um but
Yeah.
It doesn't look like, to answer your question you just asked a second ago, it doesn't look like you can edit the
other people so like a
naked and all those there.
If I click on Seth.
I can't do anything for him.
Okay.
So I can't like put them in my family or whatever, but that's my initial question was
Is there a way that parents can be authorized to edit their children? So Seth has an email address, for example, and if I wanted to put his email address in there.
I can't and he doesn't have a login, so I assume he can't either
So is that something is that something
Okay.
Yeah, we'll look at the settings for that and we'll do what we can to make that work.
Any other questions? Am I going too fast?
Okay.
Well, okay, I have a question.
Yeah, go ahead.
Real quick, I notice here in the main
When you're up, it has your
age her your birth date, I guess, and your anniversary.
But if I go to you, that doesn't come up. If I go to anybody else, that doesn't come up. But if I go to me, it comes up. Has everybody got that?
I mean, is that the way it is?
Do you understand what I mean?
Yeah, so you can see my name, but you can't see my date of birth or anniversary.
On my own, right.
I pull you up.
Right. You can see yours, but you can't see mine.
Right. Yep.
Is that what you're saying?
I can look into that too. I'm not sure
Thank you.
I confirm.
I'm sure we can change that. I'm sure that's not a problem.
So education and work, that's also an optional thing. Great for the kids.
to be able to put what kind of
what grades they're in.
And what schools are going through, stuff like that. And you can put as much of this information about yourself as you want.
And you don't have to if you don't want to. That's fine.
contact information.
Landline, cell phone, work phone.
Okay.
if there would be any reason to have more phone numbers than that, we can always
See what we can do about including them.
Got it.
Email address.
Address.
I don't know that we need a lot more contact information than that. Could anybody think of something that would be missing that you would want to have?
what is underserved
I don't think too many people have faxes anymore.
What is under show more?
options.
So I can't understand why
They won't.
Do not text. Make private. Okay, okay.
You hit your email icon.
So I'm assuming it's all the same.
This brings up my
And Luke, again.
Yes.
Yeah.
Okay.
So when I pull yours up, I don't get any
I don't get the education and work
on there at all. So I'm just…
That's probably because I don't have any information put in there.
No, when I pull, well, maybe.
Like if I were to change mine to…
If you were to refresh now.
you might see you might see
Okay, let me see if that
No, see, the heading doesn't even come up. The education and work heading doesn't even come up.
on this on well you know what?
Okay. It just saved now. Try again.
You know what, though? You're talking about laptops. I'm doing it on my iPad. Maybe there's a difference there. I don't know.
But really all I give for you
on mine is just your name and your
contact information.
Okay.
And the only reason I bring it up is because
If you have, you know, age and anniversary and employer and everything.
I'm assuming that's for other people to check and not yourself because I don't think you that every day.
Right. Yeah. I'm not going to forget that stuff. Right.
Okay.
Spoken as a young guy.
Yeah, right.
So I'll confirm on the web it's the same.
you only see for other people their phone numbers, email, and address.
And that's it.
Okay.
Okay. I'll look into that after we're done here.
Okay.
Okay, so that's…
Okay.
Luke, I have a question.
Yes, ma'am.
So the only people who can see that information
all the information you're talking about. Is there anybody who can just access this and get this information?
like is it pretty is breeze secure?
As far as putting out all this information on the web.
Right. So each individual church has their own domain name so
I'm imagining that there's probably a Breeze IT person that would be able to log into individual domains if there was like a specific problem
But no one outside of Wauwatosa bible chapel
can access any of our information.
Okay.
And then, so like I'm listed as one of the admin neil and craig
are our admins so we have our admins
certain access to like help people
like with their…
their logins and their contacts and stuff like that but like
As you can see, you're so you're
Nobody can even see some of the basic information and we
conceivably should have
Or could have access to.
We'll work on trying to work on trying to
Making sure that everybody has
the access to the appropriate information that they should have access to so that when you're trying to search about somebody
You know, you can see a birthday or you can see a
employer or whatever but um
That's…
And if I'm not mistaken, Luke, when you opened up those um
open more options.
each person has the option to mark that as not for public or
whatever. Isn't that correct?
You certainly should. Yeah, you could…
like if you wanted to
like make private
Right, exactly.
Or do not text. I mean, you can specify that if it's something you don't want.
Yes, you exactly
Okay.
Correct. So you should be able to…
you will be able to control your own information.
Okay.
If you include it on here, you can
make those notifications. You can also choose
Correct.
not put any information on there about yourself if that's what you want to do as well. It's totally up to you.
We're not trying to force this on anybody. We're just trying to use something that's helpful for
Right.
for people to stay connected with each other
Right.
have…
Easier access for communication, stuff like that.
So.
Can I ask you one more question in reference to that?
For instance.
Yep.
Could I go in here and I'm probably jumping ahead, but could I go in here and can you sort it by
You know, like, could I sort
birthdays in the month of december
and pull up.
That's a good question. I do not know.
Okay.
we can go back to just the main people screen.
But I don't think birthdays
are one of the options on here.
Okay.
There might be a way to do that and i just
That's fine.
I don't know. As far as I know, that is not something.
So it could be in filters.
Potentially.
Okay. All right. I don't mean to jump ahead. That's okay.
It's not.
Uh…
Is it possible to add that to the calendar, to the events?
Birthdays?
Birth.
It would be possible. It would be arduous to go through and do that for every single
At each one. Yeah.
Every single person.
Because that would be like an individual thing that we'd have to add every single one.
So for 200 people.
So can you click birthday?
Oh, in that filter count.
Filter.
that list you just had, can you click birthday what happens
Okay.
So it looks like you would be able to filter by a date range, but that's only because
Yeah.
Luke has access to the birthdays. The rest of us don't.
So our filters are different.
Okay.
Currently, the filters I see are only the ones that you
can see the information on when you click on the person's
profile, which is
So, yeah.
Okay, so there's December birthdays.
These are the people who have listed December birthdays.
Okay.
So yeah, I think I can confirm the setting that we have is not to see those. So we can easily
check the box so you can see everybody's birthday.
the way it's set up right now, all you can view is name and address.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
So, I mean, I can check the box right now and change that if we want to do that.
Yeah, I wonder if you can also select
Well, like I would use this program
Like that. I'm sorry.
Because…
That's okay.
Yeah, it must just not be a standard setting that comes out. And then, I mean, like, obviously in our
bulletin or not a bulletin, but our
current directory that's listed for everybody so it's not
it wouldn't be changing what is already changing
out in public view right now, if we do that.
Right.
So I wonder if you do that, like you select birth date december's if you can populate the calendar
that way without the arduous entering each one.
Bi-monthly.
And maybe. I'm not sure.
Yeah, okay. That's fun.
Luke, I have a question. Is it possible to
go from people and to have people from
certain groups together, like all the Thursday morning ladies
who come to the Bible study.
Yes. So we're going to get to that.
Okay.
So that's going to be under tags.
Okay.
And we'll talk about that.
Next.
Right.
how to create tags, how to use tags.
For right now.
As far as just the directory goes.
everyone should have their own
Login, everyone should have their own
ability to get in there and change their own information. And we're going to work on getting it so that you can also
change your kid's information.
This is also the way to communicate.
with each other.
So, um.
there's multiple ways that you can do it.
If I needed to send Otis Appleton an email
I could come in here and select him
and then send and then send
Click on the email function and that will
send an email to Otis Appleton, whatever his email address is registered.
He doesn't have an email, so it wouldn't work but um
If you need to send…
a email to the entire chapel
then you would just select all and email.
And then you have…
either a basic email that can be sent or there are templates that can be used. I've never tried the templates, but I'm assuming it would be
Like any other kind of template that there exists
through email programs. So we'll just click on basic and then this is going to show
all of the people who are going to be receiving an email
that have email addresses
Hmm.
that have been
uploaded into
the Breeze program.
So subject.
is just like, you know, any other subject line in the
And then the body of your email
You can type out whatever you want and then you want
You can either send it right now
So we could just do test.
Email, hello chapel family
Test email.
And so we could either send it right now to 125 people
Or send it later. So if it's something that you need to do later.
Okay.
You remember at two in the morning, but you don't want to be
considered a crazy person for sending out an email at two in the morning, but you're afraid you're going to forget.
You can choose to send it out at a different time. Or if you know that for whatever reason now is not the time for this information to get disseminated, but you know that later would be better.
You can choose the appropriate time
And the date for that email to be sent.
You can't send it.
from the past, though.
There's no going back, as they say but um
You can shoot it, send it out, send it later. So this will go out to everybody
Does that make sense?
Does anybody have questions about that?
But Luke.
So, yeah. Yep.
Luke, will the church be using this?
for sending out
group emails like right now I get emails about the women's
Bible studies and things like that or sale
Those kinds of things.
Yes.
It's not a big deal, but it would be a big deal
nice if the emails that I got were mostly
things that I might be interested in.
Relevant. Sir.
And so that's going to fall in line with
Mm-hmm.
like the tags. So we'll get into that. So where you can specifically communicate with a group of people
who ought to be receiving
Information.
As opposed to just blasting everybody.
Yes, there are people who are already using this.
I've been sending out emails this way. I know other people have as well.
And so
when somebody sends out an email
with the the breeze
Breeze isn't actually like there's not an inbox here. It's actually using
email, like your email
If somebody were to reply to an email that I sent out, it'll go to my actual email address. It won't come to Breeze. There's no like inbox on Breeze that you need to check. It's all going to be through your actual email, whatever email address you put on.
to your account or to your login or whatever.
So…
So when it comes in, so when those emails come in, is it going to be from Chapel or is it going to be from whoever sent it?
So let me see if I can find one that I sent out.
This is the one that you sent out earlier.
Yeah, yep, yep.
Neil, did you send this to everybody or did you just send this to me?
It should have gone to everybody.
Okay.
Neil at Salenki.com via sendgrid.net.
So this was through this was through
Zoom, yes?
No, it…
I mean, through Breeze.
Super Breeze, yeah. Yep.
Yeah.
Okay.
it shows his email address, but it's through sendgrid.net.
Okay.
And so that
If you were to respond to this link, it would go to Neil's
Okay.
email address, but it was sent originally
through the Breeze app.
You can click on where it says via. I think that's a link.
And it'll probably give you more details
of what that means.
SendGrid.
I'm guessing that Breeze uses
We can look into this more, but where it said grid.
dot net.
That's probably breezes.
Yes.
service.
So it just kind of aliases my email address.
But…
Yeah, I can look into that a little bit more and more
verify that maybe
SendGrid needs…
If you start having problems, maybe that needs to be whitelisted or something.
So it doesn't get spammed.
So we could look into that.
Yeah.
Yeah, because there's a lot of times I get emails and if I don't recognize
where it's from.
I don't open it.
So the nice
Well, it'll look like it's from me, though, so…
Okay, that's what I needed to know.
That's fine.
Right, exactly. So that's the nice thing is that like if Neil sends an email
even though it's through breeze
Okay.
It's actually from Neil. Like if I send out an email, it'll actually be from, it'll say it's from me. It's not going to say
Okay.
you know weird breeze is asking you to open a crazy email like
Okay, that's fine. Yep.
Yeah.
So…
I think maybe Marty had a problem with getting blocked.
Maybe that had to do with it, but…
Yeah. Okay.
We can look into that more.
So what you've got up there, you've got all these BCCs. Is that the default?
Yes.
Or they're coming through as CC's.
So it defaults as BCC. You can change it
to two.
Okay.
And then everybody can see who received the email
Okay.
I would prefer the i would prefer
It's more of a preference thing, I suppose.
Yeah, and I would prefer that Molson go through his BCCs so that when people start replying
Yes.
you don't suddenly get bombarded with
Right.
Yes.
I'll be there.
Yeah, right.
Right.
So this is…
just basically how you would send communication. And again, you can
You can filter exactly who you want to receive it. You can go through and
Okay.
you know if Jen Appleton
And Sonia Bassett are the only two people that you need to email.
then you can choose to just email those two people.
And those are the only ones who are going to get it.
Okay.
So text works the same way.
as email.
Where you can choose everybody and send a text.
And then…
These are the people who have the people who
cell phone numbers listed.
And we can send out
140 character text to
whomever needs to receive it.
Okay.
This last Wednesday night when
Wednesday night study was going to be canceled.
um this
could have been a good opportunity to use this where
everybody would have received the text message
It can be used in conjunction with the email. It doesn't have to be
one or the other can be both.
Sometimes people see their emails first, sometimes people see their text
It's just kind of a…
Pick whichever one you think is going to be most effective.
For communicating, but this is another
function that we have.
to use. I would say uh limit it because we only have
like this shouldn't be…
Used for just like regular communication. It should be specific
specific to chapel events or something along those lines because
Mm-hmm.
We only have a limited number that we can use.
So if you need to text somebody personally
I would recommend getting their phone number from
breeze, putting it into your phone and then you texting that person
This should be kind of reserved for communicating about an event
or communicating about a change to something or some, you know, something very specific
that's South related.
not.
Really?
Personal.
Yeah.
Does that make sense?
Yes.
Okay, so does anybody have questions about email or text? How to find people, how to do those things?
If not, we're going to move on to tags.
I'm going to just put something in our meeting here that
As a follow-up, we will…
put out instructions on how you need to enroll in the
text messages.
That's a good idea.
Okay.
So we'll have that as a follow up.
So right now we have…
a handful of tags.
that are set up and we have the ability to add more tags as the needs arise.
There are if there are
for some reason, you would need to get in touch with any of the deacons
any of the elders, anything that's involving the ladies committee
If you have questions about music, if you have questions about
safety concern you can say
click on the tag and then you now know who the deacons are if you didn't know in the past.
I'll look at Marty's picture.
Young Marty.
And then you can…
specifically address that group of people.
So you can send them an email, you can send them a text.
And your concern can be addressed that way. If you have a question about
Again, let's say that
you want to do you want to do
You want to be involved in music or you have something that's specifically related to the music ministry.
You can email or text this group of people. So this is not
by any stretch of the imagination, like exact as of right now but as
as we start using this stuff more, we can hone it and get better about making sure that the tags are up to date.
So to your point, Carmen, for the ladies Thursday morning study
This is a great way, like this is a great place for that. So if we wanted to add a tag
we could do Thursday morning study.
And now we can go in here and we can add whoever
is a part of that is a part of
whoever is a part of that ministry. So we know that Carmen is. So we're adding her. And so she's now on the Thursday morning study
tag and uh tag
Whomever else. I know, you know, Jamie and janine and and
Joanne and
So we can do this.
Whatever.
So like, for instance, Carmen could do this
Berman, yes. So whoever…
If this is something that is something that
This is something that she's going to use.
then she can be given the ability to sort of make these changes
If she wants to designate somebody else to do that, then we can
we can assign whoever she wants to to sort of
head that up and be the person who can make these adjustments
But any of these things we add or adjust need to go through
the group of whatever you guys were called.
you and Craig and neil
Well, we're just the administrators right now, but it
But you have to give permission to do this?
Okay.
Correct. Yes. So not just everybody has permission to do anything that they want.
Okay.
So it's going to be
somewhat vetted to
people getting the appropriate people getting the appropriate
you know, the
Yes.
abilities to do the things that need to be done.
So that there's some control.
Right.
it's not a free-for-all okay
Exactly.
Tags are exactly what Matthew is talking about, just so that not everybody gets every single bit of communication. It can be specific.
to the groups of people who need to hear it. So if it's a prayer request that the whole chapel family should
get obviously we would want to send that out to everybody. If it's
something that's specific. Somebody has a question for the elders and they need to just speak to the elders
directly they can email the elder specifically or if they have you know if it's if it only concerns a smaller group
of people, then they have the ability to to have the ability to
use a tag.
that is sort of a sort of a
an established group
that people can then.
and can use in order to cut down on the number of people who are receiving the communication or who it's appropriate to receive.
Okay.
And again, you can again
from the people, you can go through the list. If a tag is not an appropriate
thing. You can go through the list and just click on whoever is appropriate if it's
if it doesn't need to go to the whole chapel family.
So, um.
Tags are going to be, I think, a real
time saver for a lot of people.
I will.
In order to communicate amongst themselves.
communicating amongst the group.
And does anybody have any specific questions about tags?
Luke, despite what I said earlier, one concern that I have is when we think about new people coming in.
And not necessarily even knowing what some of these groups are.
Sure.
I was there probably about a year before I knew what SALA was.
Okay.
And I have discovered I'm probably a little too old for it.
But…
Only a little.
But, you know, you could picture, yeah, just a shade, but you could picture, you know, some new family coming in and if
they have to specifically opt in. They may not even know that it exists.
It's a great point. And that's something that
If they're not getting anything at all.
But that's the part where this is going to be a group effort.
So the individual
people who are kind of leading different aspects of the ministry
are going to have to
be aware of that kind of thing.
Hmm.
And reaching out and including them so if
Whoever is…
whoever is in charge of, will you say la
For an example, if a new family comes
And they have kids that are the appropriate age
whoever's in charge of Selah would then be
have a certain amount of responsibility to reach out to those people and to let them know about
you know what the
the opportunities that they have and getting them connected. So this is why it's not just going to be
Me and Neil and craig
And we have the only ability to include anybody and nothing happens apart from, you know.
Nothing happens apart from our say-so. That's not the idea. The idea is that each individual ministry
there are going to be leaders of those ministries who have the ability to now start including people and bringing people in and
helping out so that it doesn't just fall to
Right.
two or three people or whatever it is. And they're the only people who can breathe like
It's everybody. It's all of our ministry. We're all a part of it. It's all of
It's all of us. Not everybody needs to have access to every single thing.
But
there certainly should be leaders involved in every single ministry that is going to have access
who can now start including people and bringing people in and
Sort of being the, you know, the boots on the ground whatever
who are helping identify new people who can be a part of
ministry is inviting those people, making them feel welcome, helping them get included and getting them plugged in.
So.
So, Luke, at what point do you envision
new people being invited into breeze.
We haven't had any kind of like a formal conversation about it.
I would think if a family starts
regularly attending, you know, after a few weeks, we would then let them know about breeze and
You know, getting them logged into the
getting them invited into just filling out their information, getting a login, including them in the directory, and then start linking them up with
the different ministries that are
involved at the chapel. I don't know that there's any kind of a set like well if
Once they've reached the giving threshold, then we'll include them or after you know four weeks or anything like that like i i
I think we'll kind of know it because they just keep coming you know
Is this…
They've been here three, four weeks in a row. So I think they're.
Is this the kind of thing you…
They're here now. So let's get them involved.
this is the kind of thing you talk about at the deacon level
you know who's new and who's new
And maybe at some point, the deacons make a decision that, hey, these people seem to be coming
regularly, let's add them in.
And then, you know, I don't know if Janine would be the one that would be
doing that. I guess I would go back to my own experience
I was at Wauwitosa for quite a while
I got the…
what do you call the directory
Okay.
And frankly, I had to go chase it down
Sure.
In order to get one. And I mean, it was
it really helped to have something
Yeah.
I could start to go, oh, well, this is that person. Frankly, I pull it out almost every Sunday trying to still figure out who people are.
Sir.
Especially on a Sunday like this where the kids are up there. I don't know who most of them are.
But it really did help.
to have something that would help me
connect to the other people in the church.
So it would be so it would be
Totally. And this is…
We're all learning together. I'm one day further than you guys.
on breeze but on breeze
After this meeting, you're going to know as much as I do.
This is going to be a learning process and we're going to make mistakes and we're going to figure things out on the fly and
You know, it's going to require a lot of patience and grace from everyone
as we're as we're
as we're sorting this out.
I don't. We haven't had…
a lot of
like formal
conversations about it other than like
So far, we're just trying to get everybody logged in. Now we're trying to get some people up to speed so that we can all start using it.
And we're going to just do the best that we can.
Yeah, that's it. We're learning. We're all going to learn as we go so
Hey, Luke.
Yes, ma'am.
In the list of tags, is it possible to do something like, for instance.
put in there like youth ministries. And then under that tag, there would be subtitles like Selah
kids club, blah, blah.
I don't think that you can have a tag
Okay.
under a tag. I could be wrong about that. I think the tags, I think each individual tag is its own thing.
Okay, so you'd have to do a tag for salem
Nope, that's wrong. Add a folder. So we could do
Okay.
Ministries.
And then…
I would think.
And so we're like, okay.
So under youth ministries
I would think that would be good for
I would think that'd be good for the Sunday school teachers to be able to have a
a tag or a tag
you know maybe not their students but their students families
be able to say, hey, you know, here's what's going on
So youth ministries
we can have a Sunday school.
we can add additional tags if we wanted to do it that way. We could do a ladies ministries.
We could do
Again, this is
I didn't even know we could do this. So we're learning together.
we can figure this
we can figure this kind of stuff out.
And the reason I brought that up is simply because if we had a tag for Selah and somebody goes in there and they don't know what Selah is.
they're not necessarily going to know to even open that where if it's under
you know, a tag of
Sir.
youth ministries and then there's these separate
Yeah, totally.
you know separate boxes
Totally.
it would be easier to find.
Right.
Yeah, if you're new, exactly. If you're new here, okay, so what sale? What does that even mean? But if you're new here and you say, okay, we have youth ministries, well, what are the youth ministry options here? Okay, Sunday school and Selah. Okay.
So you can start to get an idea. That's great feedback.
Sure. Okay.
Does anyone have any other questions or comments?
Right.
Just thinking back to the new people
Luke, I would think it would be a good thing that when you decide that you're going to invite somebody into Breeze that
maybe an email go out to them and say, you know, welcome here's
Here's Breed. Here's how to use it. By the way, here's all the groups. Here's things you might be interested in. If you are interested in them, you need to opt in or whatever, talk to so-and-so.
But use that as a way to really
introduce the church and who we are.
And…
Yeah, totally.
Well, and Alex put a note in and
in the chat list here, you know, to put in
in the bulletin, identifying what breeze is
And then people can and then people can
If they're new, they can say, you know, I'd like to join that. And it has the names of the administration
administrators for that. I think that's a great idea.
Yeah. Well, and even regularly including either having a
Mm-hmm.
sign up sheets or including them in the bulletin regularly, like just so that newer people can know about it. Yeah, that's
So all really good feedback. Alex, I saw that your hand was up. Did you have something?
To…
I was actually going to bring attention to my comment in the chat. So thank you, Joanne.
Okay.
Yeah, you've got good chats in there. I mean, good comments, Alex.
Okay, so tags, does anybody have anything else specific about tags?
If not, we're going to move on to events.
So this is the
Chapel calendar.
so um it
would be good to start. I've included some of the recurring things that we have in here
on a regular basis.
You know, Lord's Supper is at 9 a.m.
the family Bible hours at 1030. We have the Wednesday night meeting.
So those we have every week.
You know, obviously.
there's are the occasional exception, but these are the bedrocks of our meetings. So these are recurring
The rest of them, it's going to be up to the individual
kind of people who are involved in the ministries to include
your events in the calendar.
Thursday morning Bible study.
We could set it up as a recurring one.
I think that you can add events
And then you have
Oh.
like ranges that you could
they can put them on.
And…
Think.
So if we do…
Thursday morning study.
What time does that go?
9.30.
Or when's the next one going to be?
The next one is going to be in January, and it's probably going to be the 16th.
of january
January 16th and it's 9 in the morning.
9.30.
30.
9.30 to 11.
1115.
So we could…
put this in for Thursday morning study.
And then we could have it repeat weekly
So it'll just automatically start showing up on the calendar starting on the 16th every Thursday, 930 at 1115. And then we can
pick a specific date that we wanted it to end on.
So let's just say we wanted it to end
they know for a fact they're going to do the three weeks in January. And beyond that, it's unknown so we could
add that to January's calendar.
And then…
uh well
Maybe I should have picked not the 30th but so it added it added to
to Thursday mornings in January.
And so that is something that let's say Carmen would do or she would delegate somebody in the group to
Right. Correct. Yep.
Take care of that. Okay. Okay.
So…
as we, you know, turn to january
we see the regular meetings are in there. We have the men's business meeting
is listed. We're going to have the gym classes starting
men's breakfast. So there's different things that are starting to show up on the calendar for
the beginning of next year and so
Again, if you go back to your dashboard, this could be something that just automatically comes up.
where you're just looking at the upcoming events, actually clicking on the events
And being able to see
everything that
is…
Upcoming is going to be super helpful.
For instance, like for the men's business meeting, if we click on it, I included the zoom
link. So if there's somebody who's interested in coming, they can just come and click on the Zoom link if
Matthew and I were talking about that today. He hadn't
received the link for the Zoom meeting, but it's in here and so
Even if he hadn't gotten an email, he could still join in by knowing that this exists here.
So as far as actually setting up events.
Obviously.
making sure that we have them listed the right time, the right day, the right event.
Okay.
is on here. But now there's on now
like sub features, which is managing volunteers and uh
Somebody like Nathan Keller, this is going to be very relevant for because he's
overseeing the music ministry
next week.
or the 22nd, we have…
the lord's Supper.
And we have different volunteers that we can add
for an event.
Okay.
that we can start like we can start
we can start utilizing this more.
Whoever is in charge of who is in charge
setting up and taking down the Lord's Supper like we can
we can add a volunteer. So if we're doing monthly signups or whatever
Whoever…
signs up for the Lord's Supper, we can add them to this
So that next week they would get a reminder.
a few days before
Right.
the event.
That just reminds them, hey, you're on for
setting up and taking down the lord's supper
Salida signed up to play the piano for the Lord's Supper next week. So we have in here
a reminder and so she'll automatically get a reminder
I think it's on Thursday, but we can even…
change when the when the reminders are sent out, the frequency that they're sent out, we can
manipulate this a great deal so that
These people can receive whoever the volunteers are, they can receive these notifications so that
they're reminded to do them and we're staying organized.
Another thing is for the family Bible hour.
Same kind of thing.
whoever the
speaker is for next week, which is Matthew.
Sure.
What about child care?
So Matthew's already logged in here.
for the family Bible hour speakers. So if he just completely, you know, gets sucked into work and hasn't thought about it, doesn't think about it, on Thursday, he's going to be reminded
Hey, you better prepare something because you're on.
But song leader, we have the ability to
plug that in there.
But we can add more. We're not limited to just these um
we can do
For instance, you could have a piano player you can because uh for uh
Nathan's…
his schedule he's got…
whoever the pianist is for the Lord's Supper and then the family Bible or whoever's playing the piano, the song leader
vocals, guitar, bass, cajon organ like
we could have that.
for every single
like we could we could have that volunteer and then we could just plug in those names
I don't think Preston has a…
an email so that might be lost. But we can add more. What I'm saying is we can add more than just what I have. I was just putting it in there as just sort of like a
like an immediate kind of like hey we
like we can use this, but we can do more than this is what I'm trying to say.
And Nathan, as you specifically start getting in here and utilizing these functions.
I mean, feel free to
change it up to whatever you think is appropriate.
that by no means field boxing by what i've put, this was just to kind of get us
get us started. If you think that we need more or less or whatever, feel free.
jump in and make it your own.
So Luke, in this particular section.
Like for nursery care, I believe Jessica
shills.
does that. So should there be something set up where she could actually
Okay.
Totally. That's completely appropriate.
Okay.
setting up nursery workers. Again, the trickier thing with that is if it's the younger girls and they don't have email addresses, granted, they could go to their parents
but um
Totally. Yep.
Right. But this might be a nice avenue for her rather than have to make all kinds of phone calls or
Okay.
Completely. This is great.
great way to utilize it. And that's exactly what this is for. That could be a tag in here too is like nursery workers.
Okay.
So if for some reason, you know, all the nursery workers needed to
communicate with each other or whatever like that can be utilized for that
they can get
nursery workers on here for Lord's Supper for the family bible hour
That's…
That's under the volunteers. So every event is going to have four
like options
So there's the details of the event.
There's service planning, there's checking in, which I don't
At least at this point, I don't see us using this at all.
and managing volunteers.
Check-in would be like
like basically saying that you're there or whatever.
I don't know.
I don't think we're really going to use that.
There may come a point in time where we…
do or different people want to. I don't know but uh
I'd kind of not really worry about this one for now.
Details are…
who has checked in for the event and sometimes like somebody will put
specific information about an event like an event
So this is the details for this event.
Or is this the description? I can't remember.
But anyway, the ones that are important are going to be
basically managing the volunteers. So whoever is going to be
doing specific functions or specific functions are required in an event, like we have the ability to
create those.
We have…
different
options for how many volunteers are needed, who's going to kind of be leading
the you know that event
And whatever. So there's just…
lots of
Lots of options and i think
I think this is going to be something that we
really are going to enjoy
building.
using, yeah, enjoy using for
Especially for like the Sunday morning services
I think it's going to make communicating a lot easier. So does anyone have any questions about
the events, managing the events, the volunteers
any of that stuff.
Alex.
I think just setting up
you know the different areas like you know like
quote unquote food committees
who you contact.
Mm-hmm.
for things like that. I don't know if you would make that a tag
You know, but there's
Yeah, that would be more in line with the tags.
Okay.
Four.
like somebody that has a baby or a bereavement or something like that then we could
Okay.
have a tag and then a group of people gets notified.
I mean, that could be under ladies ministries and then break it down
Totally. Yep.
Okay. Okay.
Alex, did you have something?
Okay.
Yeah, I was going to suggest that if
for the calendars if we have
chapel wide events, then it seems to make sense to me to use the main calendar. But if all events are going to go on one calendar, I think it will eventually get rather busy.
but each
sort of like a tag, each subgroup could have their own calendar like
youth ministries, women's ministries, men's ministries, et cetera, could all have their own calendars.
And that way you can kind of click through which things you're interested in.
And if the folks running those ministries had access to their calendar, then they could add
That's a good idea.
Or subtract meetings and things on their calendar as was necessary.
Just to consider.
Totally. Yeah.
Yeah, that's a great idea.
that's something yeah that's something we can
we can kind of deal with as it comes up. Like if we find out that it is just getting too cluttered, we can
separated out. I don't know.
like at this point in time, I don't think we're
I don't think we have so much stuff going on that one calendar wouldn't be
would be too much. But again, as we start using this, we'll find out and uh
It certainly might be completely appropriate for us to add
layers to the calendar and that's very easy to do so we can do
You know, women's
ministry and then we have their own
Come on.
special calendar, their own color, and then that's what it is so
It's very easy to do. Very, very user friendly.
So, um.
that's something that we can…
I love that.
we can play with as the needs arise.
Does anybody have any other questions about events, managing volunteers, anything like that?
The very last thing that we're going to talk about is forms.
So, uh.
As of right now, we can use forms for signing up for
different events or, you know, like the choice glendings calendar
We can…
We can look at our form.
We have a nice pretty picture of the choice cleaning 2025 calendar. You put in your name and your email address.
And now you're on the list. So that was pretty simple.
basic description.
of what that is.
We can look at the entries.
of who signed up for it.
One good piece of feedback that
I think…
I think Craig had said was, you know, in the future
like added
for something like this you know add like the ability to choose more than one or like write a description or something like it because Eleanor Allen wanted two
So she, well, Craig found a creative way to notate that but
You know, in the future
have it be
if somebody wants 50 of them that they could
clearly indicate that that's what they want.
um so
Well, we'll obviously get better as we do this more.
This is…
The idea is that we can now register for things online and they're
Eventually we'll have the ability to pay for things online too. So let's say next year for the women's Christmas dinner.
you could come in here and you could sign up
to say that you're going to attend and then also pay
for your tickets online. And then it's just all handled. It's all taken care of just
Okay.
Done. Couples retreat. Sign up. Hey, you're registered. You're ready to go.
People aren't going to have to try to
we're not going to have to try to chase down who we need to
get payments to or get payments from it can be it can be a one-stop shop
We're not quite there yet, but…
that is something that down the road we're
hoping to be able to include and um
As right now, it's good enough to just be able to like sign up for things in a place online.
I'm pretty sure that you don't even have to have
in order to
to like
use a form. Let's say that you're creating a form
If you go to share and then…
if you use the form address and include that in an email, somebody should be able to just click on the link and sign up
sign the form, even if they're not a…
even if they don't have an account.
with Breeze and then breeze
we would be able to
to communicate with them about it. So you don't even technically have to have
a login, I'm pretty sure and you can still use the forms so
for events that might
where people who don't
go to the chapel might be interested in attending
they might be able to still
let somebody know that they're coming or they're interested like we could have
conceivably sent this out, the choice claims calendar out to non
chapel people and they could have signed up to get a choice cleaning calendar
And we could have had their name and their email address and we could
you know done that for them.
So I think the forms
are going to be one of the things that we're going to find really, really, really helpful
as far as
communicating things for attending events and letting people know that events are coming up and that it's good to kind of RSVP for them or whatever.
So does anybody have questions about forms?
Does anybody have any questions about anything?
Yes, I do.
Okay.
First of all, what is the site? I mean, because I would like to pin this on my laptop.
And my other question is.
When I signed up did i
have to have a password because I don't remember doing it.
And if so, and I need to change my password, where do you go to get that information for your personal account?
I don't know. I will…
I'll talk to you about that after.
Okay.
I can answer the question about changing your password.
Okay.
I've done it. Once you're logged in under the settings, you click on the little settings wheel. It's in the upper right hand corner there. And there's just a link that says change password.
Okay. Okay.
Very simple.
And I had a question.
But I think I just forgot what it was.
Okay. Okay.
Oh, sorry. I remember it now.
It looks like it's not currently a feature. Maybe it's one of those things that's not a normal feature, but is there a way
to go to an event and save it to like your personal calendar if you wanted.
I haven't figured out a way to be reminded of events
that I want to attend like this one
Mm-hmm.
I just created an entry on my own phone so that I could be reminded of it.
I see what you're saying.
But if there was a yep if there was a
So like from the app
like say like
save event to your iPhone calendar or whatever.
Yeah, or even be able to enable through the app a notification that would remind me through the app of that event.
If I said I wanted to attend it.
I haven't figured out if that's possible.
Good question.
But if it was, I think that would be useful.
Yeah, I do not know the answer to that question.
We can look into it.
Okay.
Knowledge.
To answer Joanne's question, the site.
is WawatosaBivalchapel.
Breeze chms.com.
If you type that in the browser.
Hit enter.
it'll say login name, password, and then there's a forgot password as well.
Okay.
link. And then secondly um
the app. You can have the app on your phone
And it will ask you what's the name of
the domain name.
the chat that yeah the domain and that's
Wauwatosa Bible Chapel smashed together no spaces.
Wallachosa bible chapel.
Yes.
Okay, thank you.
just that no no dot or anything.
Well, that's just for if you have the app.
So when you download the
Right.
Yeah, so that's when you're trying to log into the app. Whenever you first bring it up, it's the very first thing it's going to ask you for is the domain name.
So that's our domain.
Okay.
there's 10,000 churches that use this
that use Breeze. So they have to separate it out somehow. And this is our specific
Okay.
part of Breeze is Wauwatosa Bible Chapel.
Okay.
Is it correct that the giving is correct
capability hasn't been set up yet.
I think that's right.
Okay.
Do you know, Craig?
I missed it where I was looking, I was trying to find something else. What was the question?
the giving we can't currently give through the site, correct?
Correct.
Okay.
And if we do it i mean if we do
Like we do our PayPal account that people can give online to, but then there's going to be fees involved.
Let's not have fees.
Is there anything that like if you give $100, they're going to take
It's like a credit card processing fee that are going to take
a percentage i haven't found one
They use Tithely, I think is the one that they use
It's a different application that's kind of embedded in
breeze, but there's involved so i'm not
We haven't…
I've had interactions with Tithely and I'm not real impressed with them just
they they're going to bombard you with emails on how to increase giving and
all sorts of
building techniques to build techniques
to apply to the church
Frankly, I didn't think were appropriate.
we had somebody pushing for that at my previous church.
So, um.
I guess the short answer is no, we can't give. And the long answer is, I don't know if we're going to go that route.
We'll see.
Does anybody have any other questions, comments, or concerns?
Who specifically wants to be the person who gets contacted with our questions? Is that you, Luke, or any of you guys?
You're welcome to contact me. I know.
Okay.
What I know I've tried to tell you everything that I do know.
Okay.
I just don't want anybody to be bombarded with all of this.
It's fine.
You're welcome to contact me.
Craig knows a lot about it as well.
Okay. All right.
is…
He…
is very knowledgeable.
Yeah, you can.
Thank you.
So, yeah, whoever.
whoever you feel comfortable talking to.
If anybody…
has any other questions afterward feel free to
to reach out.
And if, you know, again, if you're thinking about it later and it comes to, we'll do whatever we can to help you out.
So.
Okay.
I'll go ahead and stop the recording and then
I don't know.
Sounds like maybe, Luke, you could stay on and stay on
answer some more questions.
Sure.
