Create a special service
Add a one-time special service for events like Christmas or Easter. You can create a new event from scratch or duplicate an existing recurring event, depending on which works best for you. If you connect your event to Groups, you can promote your event on the connected groups' pages.
Duplicate an existing event
Duplicating an existing event is the best option if your special service uses the same rooms and resources as another recurring event, but requires a different event image or description. To duplicate an existing event:
Select the Events page in the top navigation.
Choose the event you want to duplicate from the calendar.
Select View event to open the event page.
Select Duplicate in the top right to copy this event's schedule, rooms, and resources to a new event.
Enter your special event's name in the pop-up.
Select a date and time for your special event.
Select a recurrence pattern from the dropdown.
Important
If your special event only needs to happen once, select Does not repeat from the recurrence dropdown.
Add your event's details, such as the public description, event notes, Church Center visibility, and tags.
Select Duplicate event in the bottom right of the popup to open the new event page.
(Optional) If you need to adjust the event's schedule, rooms, or resources, select Edit in the top right.
Select Save for this date to save any additional changes.
Select Yes, make these changes to finish editing your new event.
Promote events to Groups
If you also have Groups access, you can share your Calendar events with connected groups. To promote a Calendar event to a connected group:
Select the Events page from the top navigation in Calendar.
Choose an event from the calendar.
Select View event to open the event page.
Select the Connections tab.
If you haven't already set up a connection, select Connect a group in the Groups widget.
Search for a group and select it from the list to connect it to your event. You can connect multiple groups to your Calendar event.
Select Save to finish connecting your selected groups.
Select the Promote toggle next to a group's name to add your Calendar event as a "view-only" event to that group's page.
