Birthday & Anniversary Lists

Need a list of everyone with a birthday or anniversary in a given month — for the bulletin, announcements, or cards? The People search can filter your congregation by Birth Month and Anniversary Month and show the dates right in the results.

Before You Begin

Getting a Birthday List for a Month​

  1. Open the Jump menu (the search bar at the top-left of B1 Admin), expand People, and click People.
  2. Under the search box, click Advanced.
  3. Expand the Demographics section and check Birth Month, then choose the month.
  4. The results update as soon as the filter is checked — everyone with a birthday that month appears.
  5. To see the dates, switch View as to Table, then click the Select columns icon in the page header and enable the Birth Date column (or Birthday (No Year) to leave out the year). Use Export to download the list as a spreadsheet if you prefer to sort or print it there.

Getting an Anniversary List​

Same steps — in the Demographics section, check Anniversary Month instead (or as well), choose the month, and enable the Anniversary column in the results.

Practical Uses​

  • Weekly bulletins -- Run the current month's list and read the names straight into the bulletin.
  • Birthday & anniversary cards -- Export the month's list and hand it to your card-writing team.
  • Milestones -- Combine with the Age filter to find milestone birthdays.
tip

Both lists come from the birth date and anniversary fields on each person's profile — if someone's missing, their profile just needs the date added.

info

Earlier versions of B1 Admin linked a separate Birthdays report from the menu. That link has been removed — the People search filters above are the current way, and they cover anniversaries too.
