DEMO MODEHow many seats do we have left for Easter services?
Based on current registrations, here's the Easter service availability:
**8:00 AM Service** — 312 registered / 500 capacity (188 remaining)
**10:00 AM Service** — 1,166 registered / 1,240 capacity (74 remaining)
**12:00 PM Service** — 445 registered / 800 capacity (355 remaining)
The 10:00 AM service is at **94% capacity** and will likely fill within 48 hours at current registration rates. I recommend opening overflow seating or promoting the 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM services more prominently.

What about volunteer coverage for all three services?
Here's the volunteer status for Easter Sunday:
| Role | 8:00 AM | 10:00 AM | 12:00 PM |
|------|---------|----------|----------|
| Greeters | 6/6 | 8/10 | 4/6 |
| Ushers | 4/4 | 6/8 | 3/4 |
| Children's | 8/8 | 10/12 | 6/8 |
| A/V Tech | 2/2 | 3/3 | 2/2 |
| Parking | 3/4 | 4/6 | 2/4 |
**Gaps to fill:** 10:00 AM needs 2 greeters, 2 ushers, 2 children's workers, and 2 parking volunteers. 12:00 PM needs 2 greeters, 1 usher, 2 children's workers, and 2 parking.
I can draft a volunteer recruitment message targeting members who served last Easter but haven't signed up yet.

Yes, please draft that message. Also, what was our attendance last Easter?
Here's the volunteer recruitment draft:
> *Subject: We Need You This Easter!*
>
> *Hi [Name], Last Easter you blessed our church family by serving as a [Role]. This year we're expecting our biggest Easter yet with 3 services! We still need volunteers for the 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM services. Would you be willing to serve again? Sign up at [link] or reply to this message.*
**Last Easter (2025) attendance:**
- 8:00 AM: 389 attendees
- 10:00 AM: 1,180 attendees
- 12:00 PM: 520 attendees
- **Total: 2,089** (across all services)
This year's registrations are already at **1,923** with 6 weeks to go — we're tracking **8% ahead** of last year. The growth is primarily in the 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM services.

Great. One more thing — what's our giving look like compared to this time last year?
**Year-over-Year Giving Comparison (Jan 1 - Feb 17):**
| Metric | 2025 | 2026 | Change |
|--------|------|------|--------|
| Total Giving | $198,400 | $214,800 | **+8.3%** |
| Weekly Average | $28,343 | $30,686 | +$2,343 |
| Online % | 54% | 62% | +8pts |
| Unique Donors | 312 | 334 | +22 |
| Avg Gift Size | $636 | $643 | +1.1% |
**Key insight:** Total giving is up, driven primarily by **more donors** rather than larger gifts. Online giving adoption continues to accelerate. However, note the 18% week-over-week dip this past Sunday — this appears to be a one-week anomaly (Super Bowl weekend effect) rather than a trend.
