UUCC: Church Calendar

Church Calendar

Our church calendar is maintained on an external website, MyChurchEvents.com, which makes it easy for our church administrator to easily update the calendar from any location with internet access. Links to various calendar views appear near the bottom of our Home page and below on this page under View the Church Calendar. Also displayed at the bottom of the Home Page are upcoming events for the next 14 days.

Tips for using our calendar system appear below – click the desired topic here to go to it:

14-Day Events Display on Home Page

Church calendar events for the next 14 days are displayed at the bottom of our Home page via a live feed from MyChurchEvents.com.

If you hover the mouse pointer over an event title, in most browsers you should see a pop-up box giving a brief description of the event.

If you click on an event title, your browser will open a new window from MyChurchEvents.com displaying the event details, which may be more extensive than you would be able to see in the pop-up box mentioned above. After you view the event details, you can close the new window.

If you prefer to open the event display in a new tab in the same browser window, you can do this in most browsers by holding down the Control key while clicking the event link, or by right-clicking on the event link and selecting "Open in new tab." You can then close the event view tab as desired.

View the Church Calendar

If you click one of the calendar links below or on our Home page, you will actually be viewing the calendar in the selected format on MyChurchEvents.com:

Monthly Calendar ● Monthly List ● Weekly Calendar ● Daily View

If you simply click a calendar link, your browser will display the selected format on MyChurchEvents.com – that is, you will no longer be on our website. See the topic Return to Our Site from a Calendar View below to learn how to get back to our website.

If you prefer to open the selected calendar format in a new tab and keep our site open in the previous tab, you can do this in most browsers by holding down the Control key while clicking the desired calendar format link, or by right-clicking on the link and selecting "Open in new tab." You can then close the calendar view tab as desired.

Return to Our Site from a Calendar View

If you simply clicked a calendar view link, thus leaving our site and going to our calendar on MyChurchEvents.com, there are two easy ways to return to our site when you're done looking at calendar information:

Click the Back button in your browser. Or, in most browsers, pressing the Backspace key has the same effect. If you have viewed multiple calendar screens on the external site, you may have to repeat this operation several times before returning to our site.
The external calendar pages in all formats have a Home button at the top left of the calendar information. Clicking that button will return you to our home page. The red arrow in the partial screenshot below points to the location of the Home button on a calendar view.

Navigating Calendar Views

You can quickly look at events scheduled on a particular day during the current month by clicking the date in the small calendar that appears at the top right of all calendar display formats. In the partial screenshot below, a red arrow points to this small calendar.

At the top of the main body of all calendar display formats is a tab bar that allows you to easily see other calendar views without leaving MyChurchEvents.com. The tab bar is identical for all calendar display formats. The partial screenshot below shows a sample of this tab bar as it appears on the Monthly Calendar View.

From left to right, the tabs perform the following functions:

The first tab returns to the Home page of our site.
The second tab displays the Daily Calendar View described above.
The third tab displays the Weekly Calendar View described above.
The fourth tab displays the Monthly List View described above.
The fifth tab displays the Monthly Calendar View described above.
The sixth tab displays Print View (see the topic Printing a Calendar below).
The seventh tab allows you to download calendar data in a comma-delimited text file, which can be imported into many calendar and spreadsheet programs.

There is a search box above each calendar display format which allows you to search for particular events.

Printing a Calendar

If you select the Print View tab (mentioned in the preceding section) from the tab bar at the top of the main body of a calendar display, the selected view will appear in a cleaned-up format (omitting MyChurchEvents.com navigation features) suitable for printing using your browser's Print command.

If you simply click the Print View tab, the printable cleaned-up format will open in a new browser window.

If you prefer, you can open the printable cleaned-up format in a new tab by holding down the Control key while clicking the Print View tab or by right-clicking the tab and selecting "Open in new tab."
