Just jotting in a quick note that will show up ask an announcement across all the boards.
Basic ideas:
Welcome Area -- That would be a FAQ section
Announcements - Self-Explanatory
Each of the Different Levels would have their own discussion area
The Waymarks can be Subforumed - 1 of reach of the 10
Recommend Voyagers & Guardians get sucked into being moderators
Have a few IT savvy Admins
Online Prayer Book for written prayers
Prayer Request in a We/Asked He Answered format
You can create How-To sticky posts at the top of each forum
Forums can be locked and unlocked - some can be open, some can be private
Need a better, more stringent Rules of Conduct, but just did that off the top of my head. Should include a "what's said here, stays here" clause for privacy on prayer requests
Can have Documents that are uploaded.
Could, for example, link to the CAH website and put the Handbook on the website (You can do it on a hidden page or just a link, depending on how you've got the site set up.
Okay, it's 11:30 and I'm going to bed.
Good luck!
