Church Database Update
Over the past several months, the database of all church members has been slowly migrated from an older program to a new online platform called REALM.
If you have received an “invitation” email to join Realm, I hope you will respond to this email and create an account for yourself online. If you have NOT received such an email, it would indicate that we do not have membership paperwork for you in the office. A membership form can be emailed to you and you can return it to the church after you fill it out.
You can now access REALM directly from our website (stthomassv.org). On the lower taskbar there is a selection called “member login” Just click on that and you will be directed to the St. Thomas REALM site.
As each parishioner joins REALM, there is one setting that will need to be set in order for your contact information to be shared with other people. In your own profile you will see a small icon that looks like a lock next to the word “Privacy.” if you click on that lock icon, a second screen will open. Scroll down a little bit and you will see a list of choices about who will be able to see your contact information. Most likely, the second choice has been selected which is called “Leaders & group/serving team members.” Please change that to “Anyone in the church.” This will allow others to view your contact information. And don’t forget to scroll down further to SAVE this setting. Thanks.
We hope that this new system will prove useful to you.
If you have any questions about Realm, please contact Judi in the office. 208-726-5349 or [email protected]
