Using the calendar in ChurchDB has been so much fun. We were able to do away with a 3-inch, 3-ring binder that we used for our calendar. It is much nicer to make one perpetual entry, than handwriting each daily, weekly, bi-weekly and monthly entries. Its great to have this calendar available to leaders of organizations so that they know if resources and dates are available to them, before requesting them."
