I worked with the 8BIT team for a year, then started GarnetReport.com. Right now we're building GarnetReport into a sweet News site for students. I love British authors and storytelling.

    Both of the churches I’ve worked in have used Church Windows. The first one really had it working well… we used it for all the scheduling, directory, offering records, etc. and it was very smooth. In my current church we’ve had quite a bit more trouble getting it set up and working properly. That’s not really my area, so I don’t know more detail than that, I just know it’s been a big frustration.
