This makes a total of nine free field updates to the version 3.0 program over a two and a half year period. This will be the last update to version 3.0, since version 4.0 is coming on strong. Further, this is not an essential update unless your church has a very long church name and is having problems with the long church name on the certificates. To find out more about the update history of version 3.0, including the details about this latest update, see the FAQs (frequently asked questions).
