Can’t Miss Calendar Tips for your Church Publications 

Throughout the year, your members rely on a current, accurate calendar to be sure they are kept up to date with church events happening every day of the week — not just on Sundays. The yearly calendar may become one of the most important tools that you use every day. Having a blank monthly calendar template can help you organize and visualize any special event or holiday.

Follow these tips to design a can’t-miss church calendar:

• Highlight special events. You can enlarge the font, circle the date, or color the square a different color.
• Add artwork for visual interest. Clipart, illustrations, photos, and other church graphics can bring a calendar to life. Use one or two dominant images instead of five or six smaller pieces. Save smaller clipart for highlighting just one or two events.

• Consider a monthly art theme. Add clipart based on the theme (love, prayer, faith, etc.), and add a relevant Bible verse where space allows. To get started, check out the calendar templates in our online library.
• For grid calendars, don’t skimp on box size. Make date squares large enough to house legible text. 
• Use a list calendar if space is limited. A list format showcases only the dates when events take place, so it’s great for bulletins and programs.

Important Content to Include on Your Church Yearly Calendar 

To serve as a complete and trusted reference tool for your church members, be sure to include the following information on any annual calendar you provide.

• Include month and year. This may seem obvious or unnecessary, but it’s always important to keep the month and year visible on any church calendar. This is especially essential if the sheet becomes separated from the rest of your church newsletter or bulletin.
• Include your church contact information. Provide the church name, address, phone number, and email address if space allows. Also, consider adding contact information to submit an event.
• Times of events and activities into your planner template. Again, this may seem obvious, but be sure to include event start times for any calendar. You may also want to include times such as “set-up begins” or “Volunteers check-in” on any special calendars for church staff or committee members. Be sure to also include end times so members know how long an event is scheduled to last.
• Reference key or legend. This is especially important if you must abbreviate the calendar’s date boxes. Although abbreviations and acronyms are great and save space, not all members — especially new members — will know their meaning.
