Digital Church is a collection of web-based services that LifeWay endorses. LifeWay launched the new Web portal as a way to give ministry leaders access, in one place, to a full range of resources, services and solutions that are easy to use and come from trusted resource providers.

In order to select trusted resource provides featured on Digital Church, LifeWay thoroughly researched technology products and services targeted to churches and ministries. Based on this careful, deliberate approach, LifeWay selected solutions to share with those they serve through the Digital Church Web portal.  And, we at ServiceU are so honored that Lifeway selected TransactU as their recommended source for online event registrations, payments and donations.

We are really excited to be working with LifeWay to help churches utilize technology to further their mission. LifeWay’s vision for the Digital Church aligns perfectly with our mission to make “serving others simplified.” Our goal is to bring technological advances to churches and ministries in easy-to-use software tools. Digital Church is a great resource for church leaders who are looking for those software tools that are best suited for their ministries, and we are truly honored that TransactU has been selected as a recommended resource. 

As you may know, TransactU™, is our software that equips churches to set up online giving and event registration. We are one of the few companies in compliance with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards as a Level 1 Service Provider – meaning clients can have the highest degree of confidence in the security of their credit card information when making online purchases or donations.

As always, I appreciate your continued support and patronage of ServiceU.

While it may feel that the Christmas season has finally wound down, for many churches and organizations that put on an Easter performance or spring production, the holiday “hustle and bustle” is just beginning.

Now is the perfect time to consider TicketU for your online and onsite ticket sales, while you still have a few weeks to go before opening day. This edition of the UNews is dedicated to helping you better understand how TicketU can streamline the entire ticketing process for your staff members and volunteers, while increasing ticket sales and outreach.

For example, have you ever considered the many ways in which online ticketing can help your church with outreach? If not, be sure to read this article: 5 Ways Online Ticketing Helps with Outreach story.

In addition, I’m very pleased with the new and improved My.ServiceU.com interface that we unveiled recently. Now that you’ve had a few weeks to use the new interface, we would appreciate your feedback. Simply send your comments and suggestions to support@serviceu.com. Read more about the enhancements.

Are you interested in winning a ServiceU “Serving Others Simplified” T-shirt? If so, check us out at www.Facebook.com/ServiceU. Each week, we’ll post a question for our “fans.” The question might seek your “tips of the trade,” ask you to share a link to your event, or ask other fun questions to generate an online conversation. Simply post a response, and we’ll select one lucky person (or more) to win a ServiceU T-shirt!

As always, I truly appreciate the opportunity to do business with you and to help your organization serve others.

Sincerely,

The improvements to the user interface yield “lighter” pages that will load faster in browsers. These changes will also provide better support for a wider variety of web browsers. Many elements have been improved to provide better readability and usability, including the home page, search events pages, as well as buttons and other graphics throughout the system. This new design will also enable us to provide a better and more consistent display of errors and warnings.

So while we hope you enjoy the new look and cleaner interface, there are numerous “behind the scenes” modifications to the underpinnings of the system that are part of the ongoing improvements that will be rolled out in the weeks and months to come. We will keep you posted as we prepare to roll out more enhancements.

Let me be clear: we absolutely value your suggestions for improvements and new features. These changes, along with the many others that we made during 2009, demonstrate our commitment to not only listen to you but to take action. As always, we welcome your feedback and suggestions via email at support@serviceu.com.

Thank you for the privilege of serving you and your organization.

I can hardly believe that 2009 is winding down. Even though the whirlwind of the holiday season is upon us,  it’s important for churches, schools and non-profit organizations to start thinking about year-end giving campaigns. At ServiceU, we understand how critical year-end giving is to your budget. That’s why we’ve focused this issue of the UNews on helping you understand how TransactU can help boost your year-end giving by providing you with everything you need to accept online gifts and donations from your website.

We hope that this information is helpful to you, and we are delighted to answer any additional questions that you may have – just give us a call at 866.709.7238.

I would like to take a moment to thank all of you,  our clients, for your continued patronage. I am truly grateful for your continued business and friendship. I hope you and your families have a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.

Sincerely,

Tim
