7 Step 7 After clicking on the activation link, key in the details needed and click on Activate. Step 8 You will then be prompted to enter your preferred password. Thereafter, you will be brought back to the login page. Step 9 To start using NOAH, enter your user ID (i.e. your NRIC, FIN or passport number) and password. Updating Your Profile Now that you are logged into NOAH, the first thing to do is to update your profile to ensure that your personal particulars are current. This helps us to understand your needs better. On the top menu, click on My Profile, then View/Edit Profile. Then fill in your information on the Personal Particulars, Contact Details and Employment Information tabs. On the My Ministry tab, check to ensure that your information is correct. If the information needs to be updated, contact your ministry administrator. 6

8 Linking Your Family Members (Aged 13 And Above) To proceed with this step, ensure that you and your family members (who are at least 13 years old in the current year and who are attending our church) already have their own NOAH accounts set up. This way, you can create family links within NOAH. It is important for you to establish family links with your immediate family members (i.e. your spouse, parents, parents-in-law and children) so that you can book seats for them and attend English services together as a family at The Star PAC. (a) Submitting relationship requests Step 1 On the top menu, click on My Profile, then View/Edit Profile. Then click on the My Family tab, followed by Add Family Member. Step 2 Fill in the details of your family member. After entering the NRIC/FIN/passport number, if NOAH finds a matching profile in the system, the rest of the personal particulars of your family member will be autogenerated. You may then click Submit. If NOAH does not find a matching profile in the system based on the NRIC/FIN/passport number, it means that your family member has not created his own NOAH account. At this point, you will be prompted to create a basic account for your family member by entering more of his personal particulars. Please ensure that the information entered, especially date of birth and address, are correct. Click Submit. Your family member will then receive an with a link to activate his account, at the address you specified during registration. He must click on the activation link within seven days, otherwise it will expire. If the activation link expires before he has activated his account, he will need to create a new account again. He must have a NOAH account before family links can be established. Step 3 A relationship request will be sent to the family member you have tried to add. He will need to confirm the request before the family link is established and you can start booking seats for each other. You can only book seats for each other one day after the relationship request has been confirmed. So do set up your family links as early as possible. To add more family members, repeat steps 1 and 2. 7

9 (b) Confirming relationship requests Your family member will need to log in to his NOAH account, then to My Profile and View/Edit Profile. He can then click on the My Family tab to confirm your request. Similarly, if you receive relationship requests, you will need to log in to confirm or reject the request. Remember, your family members and relatives must have their own NOAH account before you can link up with them. So encourage them to register for an account if they don t have one yet. Adding Your Children (Aged 12 And Below) To Your Profile You have now established family links with your family members aged 13 and above. If you have children aged 12 and below, you will also need to update their information and add them to your profile. This will enable you to book them into Rock Kidz classes at The Star PAC on Sundays. Even if you and your children intend to attend services and classes at our other service venue, Marina Bay Sands Ballrooms (MBS), where booking is not required, please take a moment to update your children s information. Rock Kidz will be obtaining important information such as contact numbers (for SMS updates and emergencies) or medical instructions from your NOAH account. Your children aged 12 and below will not have their own NOAH accounts and they will not need to confirm the relationship requests. Both parents and guardians can book children into Rock Kidz classes. 8

10 Step 1 On the top menu, click on My Profile, then View/Edit Profile. Then click on the My Family tab. Step 2 To add children who have already been attending Rock Kidz classes Click on Add Family Member, fill in the required fields and click Submit. Your child will be added to your profile, and you will be able to edit and update his particulars. To add another child to your profile, click on Add Family Member again. To add children who have not attended Rock Kidz classes before Click on Register Children With Rock Kidz. You will be prompted to fill in the Rock Kidz registration form. Information on your spouse and your child s guardian(s) can be entered. Contact information and important notes such as medical instructions are required. If you have already established a family link with your spouse, his/her particulars will be automatically reflected. You can also assign up to two guardians to each child so that you, your spouse or your child s assigned guardians can register or pick your child up at Rock Kidz classes. When you assign guardians to your child, they will receive a notification . They will not need to confirm the request. However, if they would like to be removed as a guardian for your child, they will need to contact you directly. When you have filled in all the particulars, click on Submit. If you wish to register another child, click on Register Another Child. 9

12 Your children are now linked to you and you will be able to book them into Rock Kidz classes at The Star PAC. Do note that if your spouse would also like to be able to book your children into classes, he/she will also need to add the children into his/her profile. Note that you, your spouse and your children s guardians will require a registered access media to register your children at Rock Kidz. To learn more about this, refer to the next section of this guide. 11

13 Registering Your Access Media Now that you ve come so far, the last step to complete before you can proceed to make bookings for services is to register your access media. An access media is needed to book seats for and gain entry to the first two Sunday English and midweek services at The Star PAC, and to book children into Rock Kidz classes for all four services on Sundays there. For parents, please note the following arrangements are applicable to Rock Kidz classes at The Star PAC: Children attending Champions, Beloved and Treasured classes: An access media is needed to register and pick up your children. Children attending Mighty!, Alive! and Fearless! classes: Your children s EZ-Link concession card will be used for registration and dismissal. An access media is any of the following: EZ-Link card EZ-Link compliant card (e.g. credit cards with EZ-Link function, PAssion Card issued by the People s Association) New Creation Church commemorative card Each NOAH account may be linked to one EZ-Link or EZ-Link compliant card, and one NCC commemorative card. To register your access media, click on My Profile in the top menu, followed by View/Edit Profile. Then click on the My Access Media tab. If you are registering an EZ-Link compliant card, please note that there could be more than one set of 16-digit numbers printed on the card. Enter the numbers with the prefix CAN. To change the EZ-Link or EZ-Link compliant card linked to your account, delete the old card details and enter the new card number. If you have a NCC commemorative card, it will already be linked to your account so there is no need for you to register it. Remember to bring along your registered access media for the first two English services at The Star PAC! 12

14 BOOKING SEATS FOR MIDWEEK AND SUNDAY ENGLISH SERVICES AND SPACES FOR ROCK KIDZ CLASSES After you have created your profile, established your family links and registered your access media, you are ready to book seats for our English services on Sundays, and our midweek services, at The Star PAC. Booking for English services on Sunday opens every Tuesday at 8.30am for the 1st service and 11.30am for the 2nd service, and closes 2 hours before the service begins on Sunday. Booking for our midweek services begins one week in advance on Wednesday, 8.30am and ends on Sunday, 6pm. Seats are available on a first come, first served basis. If you choose to attend Sunday English services at The Star PAC, do ensure your children have a space in their respective Rock Kidz children s ministry classes. Please book them into their classes when you book your own seats by choosing either the Rock Kidz Parent Seat Allocation option or the Main Congregation Seat Allocation option for any of the four services. The two options offer different seat sections for you within the theatre. Please note that there are no Rock Kidz classes for our midweek services at The Star PAC, and we are unable to accommodate parents who may wish to sit with their children aged 12 and below. Step 1 To book seats, click on Book Seats on NOAH s homepage. If you are on another web page within NOAH, you can also click on My Bookings in the top menu, followed by Book Seats. 13

15 Step 2 Select service day (midweek / Sunday) on the calendar. Step 3 Choose your preferred seating option. More than one seating option may be open to you if you are serving at The Star PAC on the upcoming Sunday or are a Rock Kidz parent. Based on the option you select, different seat sections may apply.

Step 4 View the availability of English services and Rock Kidz classes. Then click on New Booking. 14

16 Step 5 At Section A, select the immediate family members that you would like to book seats for. Immediate family members refer to your spouse, parents, parents-in-law and children.

If you have a standard account, you can book seats for yourself, your immediate family members and up to four friends/relatives (see Step 6). Each person is only allowed to be booked in for one seat on any service day. For example, if you book a seat for your spouse for the 2nd service, he will not be allowed to book another seat for himself for the 2nd service or for any other service that Sunday. However, if your spouse has an account in NOAH, he will still be able to book seats for his other immediate family members and up to four friends/relatives for that service day. The number of people he can book for depends on whether he is a basic or standard account user. Please note that the group he books seats for will not be seated together with the group you book seats for, as the bookings are made separately and seats are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Step 6 At Section B, confirm your children s guardian only if you will not be attending English service at the same time as your children s classes that Sunday. Otherwise, it is not necessary to assign a guardian. Click on Confirm to proceed to the next step. 15

Do remind your friends/relatives to bring along their corresponding access media for service. Click on Confirm to proceed to the next step. Step 8 At Section D, select a service that has the number of seats and Rock Kidz spaces to fit your group and click on Book Seats. Please note that after you click on Book Seats, you will have three minutes to review the seats assigned and to confirm your booking. Step 9 Seats are available across three tiers in The Star Theatre Stall, Circle 1 and Circle 2.

These seats are temporarily reserved for you at this stage. You must confirm your booking within three minutes. Otherwise, the seats will be released and you will need to restart your booking process. 16
