Calendar

The Calendar provides a visual overview of all your church's activities, from weekly services to special events, classes, and meetings.

Viewing the Calendar

The calendar displays a monthly view with color-coded events. Navigate between months using the left and right arrows, or jump to today by clicking the "Today" button. Your current date is highlighted with a blue circle.

Color coding helps you identify event types at a glance:

• Services appear in blue
• Meetings and planning sessions in purple
• Classes and training in green
• Social events in orange
• Outreach activities in red
• Other events in gray

A 3-month window is always available—you can see into the next two months to plan ahead.

Clicking on Events

Click any event in the calendar to view its details in a side panel. You'll see the event title, date, time, location, description, and a list of team members assigned (if you have permission to view that information).

For members: Click the "Register" button to sign up for the event. You'll be added to the attendance list and may receive reminders as the event approaches.

For staff: Click "Edit" to modify the event, or "Delete" to remove it. You can also create a series of recurring events by setting a pattern (daily, weekly, monthly).

Creating Events (Staff & Administrators)

To create a new event, click the "+" button at the top of the calendar or in the Events section. You'll fill in:

• Event title and description
• Date and time (start and end)
• Location
• Event type (Service, Meeting, Class, Social, Outreach, Other)
• Assigned team members

If this is a recurring event, set the recurrence pattern. Save the event, and it will immediately appear on the calendar.

Editing & Deleting Events (Staff & Administrators)

Select an event, then click "Edit" to modify any detail. If it's part of a series, you'll be asked whether to update this event only or the entire series. Click "Delete" to remove an event; again, you'll specify whether to delete just this occurrence or the whole series.

Filtering Events

At the top of the calendar, use the filter options to show or hide certain event types. Toggle "Services," "Meetings," "Classes," "Social," "Outreach," or "Other" to focus on specific activities.

Next Steps: Register for an event you're interested in, or navigate to Events for a detailed list view with advanced filters.
