Tools to Use / collaboration
“It allows you to share/edit live spreadsheets, presentaSons, etc. We use it for our stats, our new believer follow up, our events planning teams, prayer chain sign ups, etc. The Google Calendar is also an incredible tool that allows your whole team to have
easy access to each other's calendars. You can also create specific shared calendars for "prinSng schedule", "sermon series", "church leaders
calendars", etc.”
HOW I USE EACH WEEK: • Track Sunday
Communications • Weekly Script • Easy to collaborate,
especially with volunteers
