> Members: How To Submit Announcement for iServe

Announcements can be added to iServe so that all members will see it on their home screen. This can help foster communication for the congregation and members and make it easier for them to get info on upcoming events or other important updates.

Step 1. Log in to admin account on online app at http://[connect code].iserve.church

Step 2. Click on “Communication” on main menu.
