Behind Scenes Staff Keeps Church Running Smoothly
By Harry Bocos

The preacher who can run his
one-room church "out of his
hat" still exists in small COM
munities, but the head of a big
city church today must rely on
a highly developed administra-
ton to keep his church func-
tioning smoothly.
When a church attracts 1000
worshipers every Sunday. even
the apparently simple job Of
keeping attendance records as
sumes formidable proportions.
The National Baptist Memo
rial Church, at Sixteenth street
and Columbia road NV, offers
an example of the behind-the-
scenes organization which ham
dies attendance records and nu-
merouS other problems.
On an average Sunday, about
1000 persons attend its three
services. Each of them, men,
bers and visitors alike, is given
a little white card. Most people
write down the information and
return the card to an usher.
That is the last thought they
give to the card.
Early Monday morning, how
ever, work crew assemblies in
the second-floor Offices of the
church to begin the weekly job
Of analysing the big stacks of
cards. The regular secretarial
staff is Joined by half dozen or
more volunteer workers.
First the workers count the
cards and stamp them with the
date. Then they separate the
cards of members from those of
visitors and check off the names
in massive permanent MEM
bership file.
Visitors are classified into
those from out of town and those
who live here. A check against
a master visitors file tells who
has attended the church. New
corners are listed in the file.
It may be late afternoon be-
fore the volunteer workers have
finished. But. when they have
gone home. the church secre-
tary's work is just beginning.

ton to visitors with an out-of-
