Mail Merge list for contributers who have not pledged.

Greetings! We would like to send a mailing to people who have given in the past, but who have not pledged. PowerChurch will generate a list of names from the Contributions Reports Menu, but the list does not include addresses, so a mail merge is not possible. Am I missing something here? Is there a ...

Re: Pledge Calculation Errors

Thank you for the responses. It doesn't look like there is a clear cut solution though as one fix seems to lead to another problem. I'll be curious what other churches do. We are a little ahead of the game in that we are already entering 2012 pledges, but I think others will be scratching their head...

Re: Pledge Calculation Errors

I appreciate that I can manipulate the data by entering in an incorrect date range, but am wondering why I would have to, and would rather not. While there are 53 "Sundays" next year, there are still only 52 "weeks". I am entering "weekly" pledges, not "Sunday" pledges. I think there should be a cor...

Pledge Calculation Errors

We just began entering 2012 pledges and when we enter a weekly pledge beginning 1/1/2012 - 12/31/2012 it mulitplies the weekly amount by 53 instead of 52. We have tried it several times with the same results. It is throwing off all our numbers. Help!

Bulk e-mail failure V11

We are finally attempting to use the bulk email feature of PC. On our first try, only 106 of the of the 306 emails sent actually got through. The rest came back in groups of 5 with an error message saying "4.7.0 Try again later, closing connection". These were all good valid email addresses. What we...

Re: Change date on "posted" contribution

Thank you for the reply. The ability to do this on future PC versions would be most appreciated, as would be any new features that help allow for easier corrections. Thanks again! I'm not sure that being able to easily change dates once Contributions are posted is a good thing. This is why you have...

Change date on "posted" contribution

An error was made in entering this weeks contributions. Some of the contributions were entered as 6/6/10 and others 6/7/10. The error was not caught until after posting. While the totals are correct if we enter in a range of 6/6 - 6/7, I would prefer to have the totals attributed to Sunday 6/6 only....

Re: Inconsistent Reports

It ended up being a contribution entered in 2008 and posted to a 2009 pledge. It appears to be an entry error. Thank you for helping me figure this out!

Inconsistent Reports

I have a contributor who pledged $10,000 this year but did not actually contribute. His contribution statement however shows $10,000 in the "actual" column even though no money was ever received. Pulling up a "Pledged to Actual" report also shows $10,000 received even though it was not. When going t...

MULTIPLES categories rather than RANGES

In the reports menu I would like the ability to select MULTIPLE funds/activities/etc. rather than RANGES. example: Pulling a report on funds #1, #5, & #17 together, rather than the range of 1-17 so I can exclude certain funds within the range. This would also be a helpful feature when pulling contri...

PowerChurch Online Courses

I am considering enrolling in the online training courses offered here. I would like the input from others who have taken them as to whether they feel these courses significantly helped them. I am already somewhat familiar with the program but would like to take my knowledge to the next level. Any t...

Contribution Statement with selected funds

I would like to be able to run contribution reports filtering out funds that do not qualify as tax deductible or that simply do not need to be on a contribution statement. It appears that I can select a "range" of funds to include in the contribution statement but not "multiple" funds. Example: How ...
