I am doing some research for our church and would like to pull out data from F1 but I'm having a hard time locating the reports I need.  This is the information I need:

1. New People to our church broken down by month.  I'm guessing we would use the "First Record" field but I'm getting some odd results with that.  I want to know all the people who touched our system (F1) for the first time by dates regardless of if their status subsequently changed.

2. Weekend Attendance - I want it to include head count, volunteers and children.  We use check-in so the children's numbers should be easy.  We count people in the worship auditorium and record them in the head count.  I'm looking for a total weekend service number.

3. People who have Left - I want to know all the people, month by month who have left our church (ie their status changed to non-attender).

I'd appreciate any tips or help.

Thanks,

Tracy

Tracy,

It is so funny that you mentioned the first one because I too am looking for reporting on the First Record only.  All that I have found seem to consider the status date change and the first record to be interchangeable.  I have been meaning to put in a request for a report to just pull the First Record only with ability to choose different date ranges, member status and household status.  If we could put it in a temporary group - more the better.  I was surprised that more churches wouldn't need this simple basic information.  How many people were new to your database in a given time period, not whose status changed but who was brand new to the system.

As for weekend attendance, we do the same thing.  The report team was great in updating report M1361E to give me just what you seem to be looking for as well as some great totals at the bottom.  They made the report specific to our church but I have no problem if it is shared with you.  Our church code is at the end of the title: (CCPDFWTX)

I think I am going to put that report request in right now.  Thanks for the push.
