Bringing your notes

The letter begins with whatever you have. Notes from the gathering, a text you sent yourself, a few lines typed from memory on Monday morning.

There is no required format. Write the way you already write. What was discussed, who needs prayer or care, what's coming up, who has a birthday, what the board decided. In any order, in fragments or full sentences. Threshold reads what you bring and finds what belongs where.

A thin week is a real week. Two lines make a letter, and the letter will be graceful about it. Threshold never asks you to elaborate and never measures your notes against a standard. The work of knowing your people is yours. The production is ours.

Bringing photos

You can bring photos to the reading along with your notes. Under the notes box, pick up to four from the gallery or add new ones right there. A new photo joins the gallery the ordinary way.

Threshold reads what you bring. A flyer or a bulletin becomes its event or announcement, read straight off the page, and anything drawn from an image is marked so you can check it against the original. A photograph of people or places is different. It carries no facts. If your notes say where it belongs, it lands beside that very thing in the letter, already placed. You can move it or take it out with one tap.

Every photo passes a quiet safety check before the reading. A photo the check wants your eyes on still gives up its facts, but those start out visible to leaders only, and nothing from it places itself. The letter tells you plainly what was held and why, in a note at the top and in a panel called Kept for your eyes. Nothing is decided over your head. The letter your members receive is always the letter you approved.
