## How It Works

### When Admin Approves a Member:

1. **Password Generation**
   - System generates a random 10-character password
   - Password is hashed and saved to database
   - Plain text password is sent to member via email

2. **Email Sent**
   - Member receives "Welcome to PCG" email
   - Includes temporary password and login URL
   - Shows what they can access in member portal

3. **Member Can Login**
   - Visit: `http://127.0.0.1:8000/member/login`
   - Use email as username
   - Use temporary password
   - Change password after first login

## Customizing the Slogan

The congregation slogan is pulled from the database settings table.

### Option 1: Add via Database

```sql
INSERT INTO settings (key, value, created_at, updated_at) 
VALUES ('congregation_slogan', 'A Place of Grace and Truth', NOW(), NOW());
```

### Option 2: Update Existing

```sql
UPDATE settings 
SET value = 'Your Custom Slogan Here' 
WHERE key = 'congregation_slogan';
```

### Default Slogan
If not set in database: **"A Place of Grace and Truth"**
