Your Table Administrator may add your Church's blog to the Table web interface.

From the Administrator's Manage page, go to Add Apps. On the left side, under Browse Apps, there's a link to Add an RSS Feed. Click that link, and you'll see a space to add the RSS feed of your Churchblog and give it a title. It's as simple as that.

If RSS means nothing to you, here's a link on that page to explain what RSS is in plain English. It's basically an easy way to share updated content (like putting your churchblog on your Table).

Oncea Table account is created for your church, the SuperAdmin can invite church members to sign up.

SuperAdmins can click Manage > Directory and then click the button to the right that says Invite People. From there, enter the email addresses of the individuals you would like to invite. You can even add a personal message if you'd like!

The Table mobile App is available for both iOS and Android platforms. You can find the iOS version in the Apple App Store, and the Android version in Google Play.

If youdo not already have a Table profile, you can sign upstraight from the app!

Your Username will be your preferred email address, and you can select any password you choose within the following parameters: your password must be a minimum of 6 characters long, and for your security we recommend using a combination that includes at least 1 uppercase letter, at least 1 lowercase letter, at least 1 number, and at least 1 special character (* $ % # @).

You canthen add or take a photo from your device for your profile image. Once that is done you will be taken to the main feed of the app.

Once downloaded, you can sign into the Table App with your usual Table credentials. If you do not yet have a Table account, sign up straight from the mobile app! Learn more about that here.

We currently integrate with Fellowship One. Our hope is that many church management systems will recognize the value of the Table and want to join up. We don't currently have a timeline for adding other systems, but you can always give your preferred church management system a gentle nudge and let them know you want to integrate with the Table.

Prayer is one of the most vital and most popular apps on the Table. We hear so many stories of people being encouraged, supported and lifted up through the Prayer Wall. For this webinar we walk through the Prayer Wall, talking about how your church can get the most out of the Prayer Wall. We talk about why prayer on the Table is so revolutionary and how you can do more with it. We talk about searching for prayers, exploring the history of prayers and notifications. We also talk about more involved uses, like integrating the Prayer Wall with your prayer ministry and using the Prayer Wall in groups.

Only Group Owners can add a calendar event to their group. If a member has an event they want the group to know about they can send a quicknote, tell the group owner, or be made a group owner.

Sorry if you still have questions. We'll be adding more FAQs and help documents in the future. You can also check out our help guides, read our blog, and watch help videos. If you still can't find an answer, submit a ticket! And you can always contact us.

We currently have mobile apps available for the iPhone and Android (version 2.1 & up).

It's tempting to dive right into the Table and get started, but what you need to remember is that you're not signing up as an individual: you're signing up as a community.

This is not Facebook or Flickr or most other social networking sites out there where you can sign up as an individual and go to town. You can't be a lone ranger, you'll need to get your Church on board. Otherwise, it's just going to be you sitting all alone at the Table. And no one likes to eat alone.

So before signing up, you should talk to your Church's leadership about bringing the Table to your Church (our roadmap can be helpful). We've found that Churches who get their senior pastor and leadership on board have the most success. Instead of being the lone ranger, volunteer to be the Table championthe person who will run the Table and introduce it to your Church.

As you're pitching the Table to your Church, remember that the Table isn't designed for your staff or leadershipit's designed for the people in the pews. So while you should get leadership and staff support, it's not designed to be extra work for them. You can also mention that it's free (we like to say "price-less"). That always helps.

Once your Church is on board, they should appoint someone to sign up your Church and get started. That someone could be you, and you're well on your way to being a Table champion.

How to Use the Prayer Wall from The Table on Vimeo.

Yes! But...

In 2012, we made Table available internationally. While it is available globally, it's not necessarily optimized for local use. The platform is currently only available in English, and as we are based in the U.S., it may not comply with local privacy or other laws.

Please be aware of these potential limitations, and use at your own risk.

There are 3 basic roles within your Table community, each with their own permissions and responsibilities:

SuperAdmin: Full administrative control of the Table.

Admin: Helps spread out admin tasks by approving new members, new content and sending out invites.

Member: No administrative control. These are the regular users, the members of your Church.

Wow. Thank you. We're always amazed at how much people appreciate the Table and want to support it. There are two simple ways you can support the Table:

1) You can make a tax deductible donation. SuperAdmins can make a donation in the "Dashboard" of the "Manage" section. There's a spot to donate in the Table Mission box. Yes, it's a little buried. But while we are thankful for the support, we don't want to be shoving a donation cup in your face. The church gets that enough.

2) You can make purchases at Amazon.com using our referral link and we'll get a small percentage of your purchase. As we roll out the Store tab this will be more conveniently integrated into the Table. But for now you can use these links (to, say, buy an iPad )and you'll be supporting the Table. Thanks!

Table Pro is our new premium option, available to a wider group of organizations, which provides additional customization and features.

Please see more info about Table Pro here.

Table Privacy Policy

Last revised on August 22, 2012

Table, an online venue through which your organization and its members/employees can connect to better fulfill its mission respects and is committed to protecting the privacy of our Web site users. This privacy policy (Privacy Policy) describes how we receive, use, and protect information with respect to the Web site, located at tableproject.org (referred to in this Privacy Policy as Table). This Privacy Policy addresses our privacy practices relating to general and registered use of this Web site by visitors located within the United States.

Table may change this Privacy Policy at any time for any reason. We will not provide individual notice to you of changes to this Privacy Policy, but we will post changes on this Web site. We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy regularly.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at [email protected].

1. What information does Table receive?

Information you provide to us:

Personal Information. When you sign up for Table, you may provide us with information including your name, email address, home address, gender, and birth date. You will also have the opportunity to provide additional information, such as your family members and friends, your interests, gifts and skills, and other information. You may also upload a picture of yourself. In some cases we may ask for additional information for security reasons or to provide specific services to you. Once you register, you can visit your profile at any time to add or remove personal information about yourself.

Content. One of the primary reasons people use Table is to share content with others. For example, you share content when you upload a profile picture, create a group, or send someone a QuickNote. Content may contain metadata, which is information about the content such as the size of a document or image, the time and date the content was created, and the author of the content. If you do not want us to store metadata associated with content you share on Table (such as photos), please remove the metadata before uploading the content.

Friend Information. If your Organization Owner allows, we offer contact importing tools to help you upload your friends addresses so that you can invite your friends to join groups on Table and invite your contacts who do not have accounts with us to join. If you give us your password to retrieve those contacts, we will not store your password after you have uploaded your contacts information.

Organization Information. The user who registers an organization will be the Organization Owner. The Organization Owner may designate additional Organization Owners and may delegate administrative duties to organization administrators (Administrators). When you register your organization, you may provide us with information including the organization name, address, number of campuses, website, time zone, phone numbers, and other relevant information. You will also have the opportunity to upload a logo and a welcome video to customize your site. Information provided about the organization will be visible to all members of the organization.

Information we collect when you interact with Table:

Access Device and Browser Information. When you access Table from a computer, mobile phone, or other device, we may collect information from that device about your browser type: location, IP address, as well as the pages you visit.

Cookie Information. We use "cookies" (small pieces of data we store for an extended period of time on your computer, mobile phone, or other device) to make Table easier to use, to show you advertisements, and to protect both you and us. For example, we use cookies to store your login ID (but not your password) and to confirm that you are logged into Table. You can remove or block cookies using the settings in your browser, but blocking cookies may in some cases impact your ability to use Table.

Site Activity Information. We may keep track of the actions you take on Table, such as joining a group or using an application. In some cases you are also taking an action when you provide information or content to us. For example, if you create a group, in addition to storing the actual content you created or uploaded, we may log the fact you created it.

Information we receive from third parties:

Applications on Table. We do not own or operate many of the applications that you use or the websites you interact with through Table. When you authorize an application through Table, we may receive information from them, including information about actions you take. In some cases, in order to personalize the process of connecting, we may receive a limited amount of information even before you authorize the application or website.

Information from Other Websites. We may institute programs with advertising partners and other websites in which they share information with us:

-We may ask advertisers to tell us how our users responded to the ads we showed them (and for comparison purposes, how other users who didnt see the ads acted on their site). This data sharing, commonly known as conversion tracking, helps us measure our advertising effectiveness and improve the quality of the advertisements you see.

- We may receive information about whether or not you have seen or interacted with certain ads on other sites in order to measure the effectiveness of those ads.

If in any of these cases we receive data that we do not already have, we will anonymize it within 180 days, meaning we will stop associating the information with any particular user. If we institute these programs, we will only use the information in the ways we explain in the How We Use Your Information section below.

D. Information from Other Users. We may collect information about you from other users of Table, such as when a friend or family member indicates a relationship with you.

How is my information shared with other users and third parties?

We do our best to ensure that others use information that you share on Table in a manner consistent with your privacy settings, but we cannot guarantee that other users will follow our rules. Read this section to learn more about how you can protect yourself when you share information with third parties.

Organization Control. Each Organization Owner of Table may determine whether that instance of Table is open, meaning that anyone can join the network without approval. Approval-based means that administrators or staff would need to approve all members, and approval-based with a secret password means that individuals may enter a password at the login page to bypass the approval queue. The Organization Owner may view the organization directory and group directory. The Organization Owner may determine default privacy settings and may decide whether members may form groups on an open or an approval-based basis.

If the Organization Owner allows for approval of content, the Organization Owner or Administrators may determine whether content within applications (but not within the QuickNotes function) will be visible on Table or whether it will be deleted.

Privacy Settings. You can control who can see most of the information you share on Table through the privacy settings you select. To change these settings go to your profile and click edit profile and then click "Privacy." You should review the default privacy settings to make sure they reflect your preferences. Remember that certain categories of information such as your name, organization name, profile picture, list of friends and groups, and gender are considered publicly available and therefore do not have privacy settings.

- Everyone: Information set to everyone is publicly available information, may be accessed by only users of the organizations site, and may be imported and exported by us and others without privacy limitations. The default privacy setting for certain types of information you post on Table is set to everyone. You can review and change the default settings in your privacy settings. If you delete everyone content that you posted on Table, we will remove it from your profile.

- Only Friends: Information set to only friends will be visible only to people you have requested or confirmed as friends on Table. Your Organization Owner[s] and Administrators will also have access to this information.

- Private: Information set to private will be visible only to you and the Organization Owner.

- Searchable Information: Your interests and skills will be searchable by other users, even if you do not make them visible to everyone.

Location Information. When you share your address on Table, an icon will appear on a map within one half mile of your address even if you have elected to make your address unavailable to certain people under your privacy settings. When other users hold their cursor over your icon, your name and profile photo will appear. You may also elect to make other information about yourself available when other users hold their curser over your icon. The map is visible to other users of your organizations site.

Group Information. Group content is only visible to members of the group. Neither Organization Owners nor Administrators can view or change the content of a group unless they are members of the group. If a new member joins a group, the entire group will be notified. The Group Owner may determine whether the group is open, meaning that any users of the organizations site may join, private, meaning that group members must be approved or invited, or hidden, meaning that members may join only by invitation.

Applications. As noted above, we do not own or operate many of the applications or websites used on Table. When you visit these applications and websites, you are making your information available to someone other than us. To help those applications and sites operate, they receive publicly available information automatically when you visit them, and additional information when you formally authorize or connect your account with them. You may block specific applications from accessing your information by deleting the application. Simply click the x on the top right side of the application.

You should always review the policies of third party applications and websites to make sure you are comfortable with the ways in which they use information you share with them. We do not guarantee that they will follow our rules. If you find an application or website that violates our rules, you should report the violation to us at [email protected], and we will take action as necessary.

Exporting Information. You (and other users you make your information available to) may use tools like RSS feeds, mobile phone address books, or copy and paste functions to capture and export information from Table. This includes your information and information about you. We cannot control how this information is used outside of Table.

Publishing Information. If you use an external source to publish information to Table (such as a mobile application or a Connect site), you should check the privacy setting for that post, as it is set by that external source.

Links. When you click on links on Table you may leave our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites, and we encourage you to read their privacy statements.

3. How does Table use my information?

Below are some of the ways we use the information we collect to try to provide a safe, efficient, and customized experience.

To Manage the Service. We use the information we collect to provide our services and features to you, to measure and improve those services and features, and to provide you with customer support. We also use a variety of technological systems to detect and address anomalous activity and screen content to prevent abuse such as spam. These efforts may on occasion result in a temporary or permanent suspension or termination of some functions for some users.

To Contact You. We may contact you with service-related announcements and updates from Table from time to time.

To Serve Personalized Advertising to You. We don't share your information with advertisers without your consent. We may allow advertisers to choose the characteristics of users who will see their advertisements, and we may use any of the non-personally identifiable attributes we have collected (including information you may have decided not to show to other users, such as your birth year or other sensitive personal information or preferences) to select the appropriate audience for those advertisements. For example, if you indicate that you are interested in youth group leadership, we may use that information to show you ads for youth leadership materials, but we do not tell the company that sells the materials who you are. Even though we do not share your information with advertisers without your consent, when you click on a link and leave our Site, there is a possibility that the advertiser may place a cookie in your browser and note that it meets the criteria they selected.

When will Table share my information with others?

Our mission is to help you connect and share information with others, including friends and users of your organizations site, while providing you with privacy settings that you can use to restrict other users from accessing your information. We share your information with third parties when we believe it is permitted by you, reasonably necessary to offer our services, or when we are legally required to do so. For example:

When You Invite a Friend to Join. When you ask us to invite a friend to join Table or a Group, we will send your friend a message using your name. We may also send up to two reminders to them in your name.

To Help Your Friends Find You. By default, we make certain information you have posted to your profile available in search results on Table to help your friends find you. However, you can control who has access to certain information through your privacy settings. We may also partner with email and instant messaging providers to help their users identify which of their contacts are users of Table, so that we can promote Table to those users.

To Help Improve or Promote our Service. Sometimes we share aggregated information with third parties to help improve or promote our service. We only share this information in such a way that no individual user can be identified or linked to any specific action or information.

To Provide You with Services. We may provide information to service providers that help us bring you the services we offer. We implement reasonable contractual and technical protections to limit their use of that information to helping us provide the service.

To Advertise our Services. We may ask advertisers outside of Table to display ads promoting our services. We may ask them to deliver those ads based on the presence of a cookie or metadata, but we will not share any other information with the advertiser.

To Respond to Legal Requests and Prevent Harm. We may disclose information pursuant to subpoenas, court orders, or other requests (including criminal and civil matters) if we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law. This may include respecting requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States where we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law under the local laws in that jurisdiction, apply to users from that jurisdiction, and are consistent with generally accepted international standards. We may also share information when we have a good faith belief it is necessary to prevent fraud or other illegal activity, to prevent imminent bodily harm, or to protect ourselves and you from people violating our Terms of Use. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, courts or other government entities.

Transfer in the Event of Sale or Change of Control. If our organizations ownership changes, we may transfer your information to the new owner so that the service can continue to operate. In such a case, your information would remain subject to the promises made in this Privacy Policy.

How can I view, change, or remove information?

Viewing and Editing Your Profile. You may change or delete your profile information at any time by clicking on "Howdy [Name]" in the top bar to access your profile. Click on "Edit Profile" under your profile picture on the left. You can now click on several tabs to edit your personal information, account information, privacy settings, etc. Information will be updated immediately. While you cannot delete your date of birth, you can use the setting on the info tab of your profile information page to hide certain information from other users.

Deactivating or Deleting Your Account. If you want to stop using your account you may deactivate it. When you deactivate an account, no user will be able to see it, but it will not be deleted. We save your profile information (friends, photos, interests, etc.) in case you later decide to reactivate your account. Many users deactivate their accounts for temporary reasons and in doing so are asking us to maintain their information until they return to Table. You will still have the ability to reactivate your account and restore your profile in its entirety. Even after you remove information from your profile or deactivate your account, copies of that information may remain viewable elsewhere to the extent it has been shared with others/distributed pursuant to your privacy settings (or if it was copied or stored by other users). Additionally, we may retain certain information to prevent identity theft and other misconduct even if deletion has been requested. Certain types of communications that you send to other users cannot be removed, such as QuickNotes or information shared on a Group page.

Backup Copies. Removed and deleted information may persist in backup copies, but other users will not be able to view the removed or deleted information.

How does Table protect my information?

Keeping Your Information Secure. We keep your account information on a secured server behind a firewall. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card numbers and passwords), we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). We also use automated and social measures to enhance security, such as analyzing account behavior for fraudulent or otherwise anomalous behavior. We may limit use of site features in response to possible signs of abuse, remove inappropriate content or links to illegal content, or suspend or disable accounts for violations of our Terms of Use.

Risks Inherent in Sharing Information. Although we allow you to set privacy options that limit access to your information, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other users with whom you share your information. We cannot guarantee that only authorized persons will view your information. We cannot ensure that information you share on Table will not become publicly available. We are not responsible for third party circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures on Table. You can reduce these risks by using common sense security practices such as choosing a strong password, using different passwords for different services, and using up-to-date antivirus software.

Report Violations. You should report any security violations to us at [email protected].

Other Terms

Complete Agreement. Please read our Terms of Use. Except as written in any other disclaimers, policies, or notices on this Site, this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use are the complete agreement between you and Table Project with respect to your use of this Site.

Scope. This Privacy Policy covers our platform. It does not, however, apply to entities that we do not own or control, such as applications and websites. By using or accessing Table, you agree to our privacy practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Children under age 13. If you are under age 13, please do not attempt to register on Table or provide any personal information about yourself to us. If we discover that a child under age 13 has provided us with personal information, we will use reasonable efforts to delete this information as quickly as possible. We reserve the right to delete the profile and terminate the account of any person we believe is under age 13 or of any person who permits a child under age 13 to publish information or post content under that persons access. If you believe that we might have any information from a child under age 13, please contact us at [email protected]. We strongly recommend that minors 13 years of age or older ask their parents for permission before sending any information about themselves to anyone over the Internet. We encourage parents to teach their children about safe internet use practices.

Consent to Collection and Processing in the United States. By using Table, you consent to having your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States.

Defined Terms. "Us," "we," "our," and " Table " mean the same as they do in the Terms of Use. Information and content are used more generally and interchangeably here than in the Terms of Use unless otherwise limited by the context.

Good question, we get that a lot. The most important thing to understand is that the Table isnota Christian version of Facebook. It's a private social network limited to your Church, not simply a hangout for all your Christian friends from Facebook. The Table is meant to build on the community of your Church. We're about conversation, intimacy and engagement. Our introduction video and manifesto will show you that we're quite a bit different from Facebook.

We could go on and on, but here's one blog post that addresses three main things that set us apart from Facebook:

1) The fact that The Table is designed for "us" instead of "me" is a fundamental shift from the traditional social media mindset.2) The Table's atmosphere of privacy and intimacy causes different behaviors to arise that are not seen elsewhere online (see our blog post You Wouldn't Do That on Facebook ).3) The fact that The Table is designed specifically for the Church directs what we create and helps us to define "success" differently.

Read more to understand each of these distinctions. We also have a series of blog posts about things you can't do on Facebook. We love Facebook and we're not trying to replace it. We're doing something different. Learn more about how your Church can use Facebook and the Table together.

Yes! Go ahead and create an account straight from the Table App.

The Table is a ministry of Gateway Church in Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX. Our goal is to build a great product and give it away to the church. You can read more about our philosophy in our manifesto.

Gateway Church is pleased to offer the Table as a part of their growing ministry. Our dedicated team is focused on producing excellent technology solutions that bless the Church.

Gateway Church aquired the Table from Real Resources in May of 2013.

Yes, we'll roll them out as we can. In addition to our native iPhone and Android apps, we're planning a custom iPad app (though the iPhone app does work on the iPad) and possibly a mobile-friendly version of our website. We do not currently have plans for Windows or Blackberry apps.

Our app isn't custom designed for the iPad, but it will still work. You have the option of viewing it at iPhone size or stretching it to fit your iPad. We do have plans to roll out an iPad-specific app in the future.

Yes! In July 2012, we released Table Pro. This is a paid version of the Table that allows organizations (or Churches that want the cool customization options) to fit it to their needs. You can read more about that here.

To get Table Pro, first open an account and completethe standard Church sign-up form (which can be adjusted later). Once your account is open, click the Manage button at the top of the screen, then select the Go Prooption.

Your Church's login credentials were provided in the original email your Administrator received when you signed up. If you no longer have access to that email, please submit a request and we will be happy to track that down for you!

Creating a group for your small group, Bible study, or ministry is a great way to foster community through the Table.

To create a group, simply go to Menu > Groups. Once there, click the Create a Group button located on the left and underneath the Group search. Give your group a name, add a photo, fill out some basic information, and invite members to join. It's as easy as that!

You'll find all the settings for email alerts in your profile. Click on "Howdy [Your Name]" at the top of the Table to access your profile. Under your profile picture, click on "Edit Profile," then go to "Notifications & Email." Use the dropdown to choose what type of content you're setting email alerts for (Prayer Wall, Discussion Board, Photo App, Serve App, Profile, Groups and, for those with access, Admin).

You have two options for changing you Notifications & Email settings. The first is the Simple Settings view and it looks like this.

If "Highlights" is chosen you will only see content from the app you've selected in an email digest. If you'd like to get individual emails for this particular type of content (Discussion in the example above) you can move the slider to Everything. For even further specificity click "Advanced Settings".

These settings control email alerts as well as notifications (which only appear on the Table under "Messages"). Click on the appropriate icon for email alerts, email digest, or notifications next to each type of content to turn the setting on or off (green is on, gray is off).

Click "Save" when you're done. You'll get a message confirming that your changes were saved.

Under "Personal Information" in "Edit Profile" you can also change your preferences for receiving quicknotes. You can receive quicknotes via email, text message or only on the Table.

Check out our blog post on email preferences for more details about these options.

Tapping the Add Content button (+) will bring up a menu of options for making your own contribution to the app!Keep in mind that the feed you are viewing (campus, group, etc) is the feed you will be posting your content to.You will find the Add Content buttonat the bottom of the screen, either on the left or right corner. You maydrag the Add Content button to one side or the other to accommodate your preference.

Options include Prayer for posting prayer and praise reports, Need or Shared Item for posting goods or services needed or available, adding a Topic to start a community conversation, and more to come!

We're busily documenting the API, and will likely release it in sections as they're completed.

We're still working on our API access, but we can let you know when it's ready to go. Just fill out this form and we'll be in touch.

Currently, there is not a way to edit a post directly from the mobile app interface, but you can edit your content from the web portal.

Sign in to the web page and navigate to the Groups Tab. Choose the Group in which you posted (or the main Church tab if no specific Group was chosen), and select the content type for your post from the menu on the left (such as Prayer Wall). Search for your content, or select My Posts to view a list of your posts. Your listed posts will have the option to Editor Delete.

This week's Round Table webinar coveredSuperAdmin training. We talked about the role and functionality of the super admin, the set up and approval guru for your church's Table. We walked through how to delegate responsibility (yes!), change settings, promote events, edit information, customize the system and much more.

You can watch the archived webinar here. It's a long video (1 hour, 14 minutes), but super admin training is super cool.

We strongly encourage you to point your website visitors to your Table sign-up page. Many churches do this with a "Connect" or "Community" button along with some kind of banner promoting it. Here are some examples of how churches have linked to the Table and you can also download Table banners.

To access the Sermon Notes area for viewing during a Service, or to take notes while watching or listening to a recorded Sermon (Teaching), it is necessary to select the Sermon (Teaching) you wish to view.

(For help locating Sermons/Teachings, please see our article Where are the Sermons?).

Locate the desired Sermon, and select it to view it in detail. From the detail view, you may opt to Watch Live (if currently available for live streaming) or to Watch or Listen to a previously recorded Sermon/Teaching and scroll down to view the Teaching Outline.

Yes! But...

In 2012, we made the Table available internationally. While it is now available globally, it's not necessarily optimized for local use. It's currently only available in English, and since we're based in the United States and follow U.S. laws, it may not comply with local privacy or other laws. So you're using it as-is, and at your own risk.

In the future, we do hope to offer a localized version of the Table that's multilingual and fully global (if you'd like to help with that effort, you can sign up here ).

As we are a nonprofit and make the Table available for free, donations are always appreciated.

Once you sign in to your account, select the Menu tab at the top of the screen, and select Edit Profile(directly below your profile picture).

From the options on the left of this view, select Notifications & Email. Here you may set your notification preferences using the slider and/or the drop-down menus above it.

To access the options for Daily Digest email preferences, make any selection from the application drop-down menu (prayer, discussion, etc.) to make the 'Advanced Settings' option appear in the top right corner of this view.

Select Advanced Settings, and you will see the None, Daily, and Weekly options appear. Make your selection, and remember to hit Save before closing.

Your profile photo is important. People want to connect with a face, not a generic icon. Adding a photo gives your profile a face. It helps people recognize you. It even helps people learn your name: the next time they see you at church, they'll be able to greet you by name instead of just nodding politely.

Remember that the Table is not Facebook. This is not the entire world learning your name and being able to recognize you. This is your Church. So let's see your face (not your dog or a cartoon or a generic icon).

It's always helpful to make your profile photo a close-up of your own face. When you upload your image, you have the option to crop the photo, so try to crop out other people so we can just see your smiling face. That way people know it's you and we don't have to squint at the tiny icon to figure out who you are.

You can watch this video or read this blog post to learn more about how to add a profile photo.
