Death Anniversary Report or reminder of another person

Post by Hope Mennonite »

Hi all,
I'm new to Powerchurch but not new to databases in general.
Our church wants to know when a death anniversary is coming up. Are there reminders/reports for this? For example: Joe's brother died in 2018. Joe is a member of our church, but his brother isn't. Is there a way to add the date of when Joe's brother died and is it possible to get some sort of email or reminder or report of when he died so that the pastors can connect with Joe?

Thanks,
Carolyn

There are 12 date fields in Personal Profiles, 11 of which are customizable, so it is possible to set date fields to track things like that, but the field name would be the same for everyone. It would be tricky to use it in that way. You could record notes on the Personal Profile about whose death anniversary date is recorded in that field. It's not a great solution, but is possible to do.

Thank you for your suggestion.
