A few comments

  1. There are errors as there is no way we could have been accurate in all cases over the years, sorry.
  2. Having said #1, I feel it is an ok summary of how our attendance has been for most folks.
  3. Almost all names are listed, even if they are no longer members. This lets us see how much losing people like the Grogans, Soules, Heintzelmans  hurts our averages.
  4. Sorry the printing is so small
  5. Some of you will say it is not worth the effort to keep these stats; I agree if they are not used as a “management tool” to  stay in touch with people.
  6. The “class.pdf” may be reached by going to the official Ownbey web page (for the moment anyway until they do away with  it) on the Church Site at http://www.mpumc.org/ownbey and then clicking on “Members” and then clicking on “#2 Click for 2006 Roster . . “ or you can go directly to the page by going to http://www.donredding.com/ownbey/class.pdf. When you are in the Class.pdf, the links go to various information which I found appropriate to keep. I gave up keeping the official web page of the class to the church staff last year, and this one page is my link still to it as it is programmed to go to my personal site. As  you know, I hoped the someone else would have take over at least the creation and printing of the roster used in Sunday School but that has not worked out. Earlier in the year, someone asked about these stats so I updated them “one more time.”
  7. Remember the username is ownbey and the password is richard, all small letters.
  8. I could analyze the results but perhaps it is more meaningful if you  look at them and  draw your own conclusions.
