Today we are issuing a renewed invitation to our customers to “Take Another Look” at the core module of our new product, code named Falcon: Center. If you have not received a copy of our Eagle Eye newsletter containing this announcement, please email me - al@greatspirit.com - to request be put on our email list. Alternatively you can view this issue of our newsletter here: The Eagle Eye.

Center will become the replacement for what is currently the MissionBase basic program. You might call Center the foundation of Falcon, or that base upon which all other components and modules will be built. We chose the name ‘Center” for this module based upon the term “centering down” from the Quaker religion, which as I understand it is a term for focusing oneself to be ready for the Word of God. I see the maintaining of a core database of the people and organizations of the church to be, in a way, a “centering down” of the organization so that when there is a call to action, the data of the organization is at a high degree of readiness, helping to enable the response to that call. Hence the name “Center” for the core component of our database.

We’ve developed an Overview document that covers a little more detail about Falcon. You can find this Falcon Overview document here.

And when you’re ready to take Falcon: Center out for a test drive (flight?), go to TryGSS.com for instructions and a Center download link. The installation process is quite simple in most cases.

There are several “tours” available which will walk you through several of the screens and processes. Click on the blue bird with outstretched winds in the title bar to access the tours. And please leave us your comments about what you see - just click on the  icon to the right of the tour icon to take you to the blog page where we are gathering comments. Our team - Bill, Lori, Jacob, Lyndzie and myself - thanks you for your time and your comments. Your feedback is critical to helping us make Center a better product, able to serve your ministries better than ever.
