Friends,

The webcast that we did on August 31 is now archived on the web for you to view anytime. We will keep it online for the next 30 days for those who missed the webcast. You can view it here:

For those tuned in live for the event, Kim apologizes for the delay in beginning the webcast. We had some non-technical issues that had me unable to begin at the originally scheduled time. Since we know that some people were logging in for that specific time, we have placed the web cast on archive for those who were on a tight schedule and couldn't wait to view the session. Again, you can now view it at:

When an administrator logins in to Worshipteam.com, they can see a new quick start video on the dashboard (called Quickstart 1) that is a short tutorial on Adding People to their group. It is as follows:

That should help get you started quickly on building your team and adding people to your group.

We have just added 3 brand new Quick start tutorial videos. These are just a few minutes each, and cover the most important aspects of the Worshipteam.com service. Right from the start, users can see how to quickly add people, build a worship list, place it in an event on the calendar, and assign people to the event. These basic steps will have you up and running Worshipteam.com quickly and easily.

The three new videos added are :

• Add People - this shows you how to quickly add your people and build your teams/group.

• Getting Started with Worshipteam.com - get overview of all the major sections, features and functions of the entire service. A great tour of the entire site.

Here is an example of the tutorial video. This is the "Get Ready For Sunday" quick start video.
