This Week’s Attendance

⭐ Premium

This week’s attendance is a single screen that pulls together all your services, small groups, and classes for the current week and lets you enter attendance figures for all of them at once — without having to navigate to each one separately.

Go to Church Admin → Attendance → This week’s attendance.

How the screen is built

The form is generated automatically from three sources:

  • Services — any service that has a scheduled rota entry in the past seven days appears on the form. The service name, day, and time are shown as the label. If a service has no rota entry for that week it won’t appear — so the form only shows services that actually ran.
  • Classes — any class with a session scheduled in the past seven days appears, labelled with the class name and session date.
  • Small groups — all active small groups appear, with their expected meeting date for the selected week calculated from the group’s configured meeting day.

Choosing the week

The form defaults to the current week. A dropdown at the top lets you switch to any of the previous four weeks — useful for catching up on attendance you forgot to enter, or correcting a previous week’s figures. Select the week starting Sunday and click Change date to reload the form for that week.

Entering attendance

Each service, class, and group shows two number fields — one for Adults and one for Children. Enter the count for each. Leave a field blank if a gathering didn’t happen or if you don’t track that category separately — blank fields are not saved.

When you’ve filled in all the figures, click Save attendance. All entries are saved in one go via a single button at the bottom of the form — you don’t need to save each service separately. A confirmation message replaces the form when the save is complete.

Why this screen exists

Most churches have more than one thing happening on a Sunday — a main service, children’s groups, and perhaps a small group on a weekday evening. Rather than navigating to each module separately to record attendance, this screen brings them all into one place. It’s designed to be filled in on a Monday morning as a regular admin task covering everything from the previous week.

If a service isn’t showing

Services only appear if they have a rota entry for the selected week. If a service you expected to see is missing, check that the rota has been populated for that date in Church Admin → Schedule. A service with no rota entry for a given week is treated as not having run that week and is excluded from the form.
