Woven

This is a sample.Cedar Hill Church is an example, not a real church, and every person and number on this page is illustrative, to show what Woven hands a church in one week. None of it is a real result. The signals, the rules behind them and who each one goes to are real, and follow the Signal Book.

The leader’s view · one week

Cedar Hill Church

Nine people need someone this week. Each one goes to one person, chosen on purpose.

Asked of a member

For each person, Woven weighs every connector in your roster and hands your staff the top few. A real reason to connect outranks convenience. Staff choose; Woven asks.

For staff and ministry leaders

These never become a volunteer ask. Each carries weight that has to come from a leader, so Woven names the right one and then stops.

Priya S.Pulling back
What Woven saw
  • Three years on the hospitality team
  • Declined 4 of her last 4 serving invitations
Who reaches her

Grace Liu, her hospitality team leader

A gentle “everything okay?” from the person whose roster she is on. Never framed as a request to serve again.

Not started
Marcus D.Carrying too much
What Woven saw
  • Served 13 of the last 13 Sundays
  • On three teams: sound, setup and parking
Who reaches him

Staff, directly, to thank and relieve

Nothing is asked of him. While this stands he is kept out of Ready to lead, so no one is handed more work for a person they were just told to rest.

Reached out
Tanya R.Ready to lead
What Woven saw
  • Four years in, at 9 of the last 10 Sundays
  • Wednesday group since she arrived, and at events beyond Sunday
  • Not leading anything, and not over served
Who reaches her

A pastor, in person

An invitation to lead carries the weight of who gives it. Woven never sends this one. It tells you who to take for coffee.

From giving

A canceled recurring gift is rarely about money. These two are about people, and the call is about them, never about the gift.

Only the leaders your church names see this section. Never a connector or a member, and it never shapes who anyone is asked to reach. Every look is logged.

The HendersonsCanceled
What Woven saw
  • A recurring gift of eleven years, canceled
  • Seen at Tuesday’s sync, not at the end of the quarter
Who reaches them

A pastor, promptly

About them, and not about the gift. The strongest sign in the Signal Book that something has happened in someone’s life.

Not started
The ParksNew giver
What Woven saw
  • A first ever gift, twelve days ago
  • Attending since the spring
Who reaches them

Staff, with a thank you

Someone just decided this is their church, and almost no church says thank you for it.

What Mark was shown

Everything above is the leader’s view. A connector sees none of it: one person, the reason they were asked, and the next step, already drafted.

Woven To a connector

Hi Mark,

Dave W. has been at the 9:00 service most weeks for about two years. He isn’t in a group and isn’t serving anywhere yet. You’ve both got second-graders in the same Sunday class.

Would you invite him to men’s breakfast on Saturday?

Yes, I’ll reach out Not this time

What a connector never sees, at any stage

  • An email address or a phone number, even after saying yes
  • A home address
  • Any attendance figure or rate
  • Anything at all about giving
  • Pastoral notes
  • The kind of care, or the match that named them

Woven asks for an in-person hello, not a cold call, so there is no way for a connector to message anyone directly. And it never contacts Dave.

See it with your own people.

This week was an example. Yours would be real. We’re partnering with a few churches at a time, and we’d love to show you Woven.
