Summary |
On July 1 we began a new temple fiscal year (not to be confused with the secular new year of Jan 1 or Rosh Hashanah!) So I'd like to give you a short report. Last week I attended the ShulCloud conference in New Jersey. Since we adopted ShulCloud as our congregation management system in 2015 we've really been able to clean up our accounts and increase our collections! ShulCloud also helps us economize by consolidated all of our web site, calendar, e-mail, event registration and membership functionality into one system. We heard about a lot of exciting new features.
One area that they are going to emphasize this year is getting more congregations on the mobile app, with new, more flexible templates coming soon. Do you have the free BCRC mobile app on your cell phone or tablet? It's a very convenient way to make your payments, check on the calendar, read about featured events, or check out a fellow congregant's contact info in our online directory. Just go to your phone's app store and search for Beth Chaverim Reform Congregation. Let's all make it a 'new year's resolution' to get the free app!
Watch for updates soon our priorities for the new fiscal year.

Announcing Sanctuary & Social Renewal Sprint 2
Our goal is to raise $50,000 by June 30 to build a spiritual Jerusalem stone wall backdrop integrated with the bimah, with recessed lighting and built-in space for a permanent ark.We plan to have the sanctuary construction done during the summer so that we can be ready for the High Holy Days. We thank everyone who has donated to our earlier phase.
Above you can see a rendering of these exciting plans (place holders for ark and furniture). Along with the movable wall and new seating these changes will begin to give our sanctuary the feel of a permanent worship space. Click here to read full details on the project.
