Calendar Tips
Calendar:
To access the online calendar please click on the word
calendar. A separate window will open up just for the calendar page. Do NOT click on the X in the far right corner to close the Calendar as you will close your browser (including the NUC website). Just switch windows in your browser or use your back button (left arrow in the far left corner) to get back to NUC’s website.
Please contact the church at 416-222-5417 or email
newtonbrookunitedchurch@bellnet.ca as only the Church Administrator can add or correct calendar entries.
Events:
In the online calendar, everything is considered to be an event. This includes all events scheduled at NUC, such as Worship Services, Ministry and Committee meetings, community programs, choir rehearsals, special seasonal events as well as events of interest within the community.
Events have been categorized into Interest Groups to facilitate viewing and printing.They also have been colour-coded for ease of viewing, as follows:
i. NUC ministry or community events – chocolate
ii. Music/choir – blueviolet
iii. Non-NUC events- cornflower blue
iv. Worship Services – black
v. Youth Group – Dark green
vi. Committee meetings – crimson
vii. Deadlines – Dark orange
viii. Out of Office - Goldenrod
Event Details:
You can look at the details of a particular event by left clicking on the event. You can print the details using the Print View button and you can email an event to yourself or a friend, and send yourself a reminder from here as well, as long as you use Internet Explorer as your browser.
Finding an Event:
You have two ways in which you can find an event:
1. If you know the date, you can use the drop down box on the far left to Select the Month or you can use the Next Month button on the far right if the event is not too far in the future. Once you have the month displayed on your screen, you can go to the day of the event.
2. You can search for an event, or a series of events, using the Search function in the middle of the screen. As an example, if you search for Quilting Group, your results will show all future scheduled Quilting Group meetings. If you do not get the search results you expect, it may be that the event was worded differently when it was added to the calendar. NOTE: If you are searching for Women's Fellowship Breakfast, you need to search using Womens (without the apostrophe) due to package limitations.

To print the online calendar, click on Print View and a new window with print instructions will pop up. If you plan to print the calendar frequently, please print out this page for handy reference. When you follow the instructions, please make sure you follow the instructions from the
