7 reasons to RSVP for GraceSLO events online

We've just enabled folks to RSVP for select events on our newly redesigned website. For example, currently you can RSVP for these events. . .

Night of Caroling on Sunday, December 19

Men's Huddle on Saturday, January 15

Here are 7 reasons we're committed to this new process and why we think you should register online for these events now and all future events, when given the opportunity:

1. It saves money. It's one less piece of paper our administrative assistants have to handle and transfer to a spreadsheet. When you RSVP online, it drops your registration right into a spreadsheet. That saves time, which, in turn, saves money. The wonder of google docs.
   
   
2. It's convenient. You can register anytime, 24 hours, 7 days a week. You don't have to take the time to find a sign-up table or remember to stick your tab in an offering bag.
   
   
3. It cuts down on worship service clutter. It potentially cuts down on the need to say "rip off your tab, fill it out now and put it in the offering bag or take it to a "welcome center". At times, we actually altar the arrangement of the service, so folks can hear the announcement and then can stick the tab in the bag as it comes around.
   
   
4. It cuts down on courtyard clutter. That courtyard square footage is precious real estate. We want as much room for comfortable movement and face to face fellowship as possible. Sign-up tables clutter up the courtyard and make it tough to move around.
   
   
5. It's informative. It allows you to see and experience the wealth of other helpful information on the website, so you better know what's going and feel more connected.
   
   
6. It's helpful for our planning. Boy it's helpful to know in advance who is coming to what. It allows us to plan and prepare better. It allows us to do what we do with excellence and not be anxious about the unknowns as an events gets close.
   
   
7. Its fun. You're likely on the web all the time anyway. On our end, it's like magic. You probably don't think so, but we definitely do. It's so easy to make happen and it just works. It's exciting and encouraging to see people RSVPing, engaging and getting involved.

So, thanks for coming along with us as we experiment with this new technology.
