I remember the first time I saw a Presbyterian Planning Calendar. I was at my first staff meeting while on staff at a presbyterian church, and when they began to discuss the calendar, everyone pulled out this spiral bound calendar that everyone had but me. Within a year, I had my own copy and I was grateful for it. It is a printed calendar, spiral bound, with 18 months worth of calendar, including lectionary readings, special Sundays in the PC(USA), and other notable dates. It is an awesome tool that many presbyterians use. But it is a print calendar.
I have tried to go paperless (not necessarily "no paper," just less paper) but found a need to have this trusty tool in print because that is the only form it is offered. It was available online for the year 2011 (see here) but they never updated the calendar beyond that year.
In an attempt to ditch my printed copy, I scanned it and began using a pdf of it (for a sample, click here). But it wasn't as useful as I needed it to be. I could access it from anywhere, but it was an extra step in my workflow. I needed it to be available in my normal calendaring system.
There is an online group on facebook called Young PC(USA) Leaders in which a few like minded people lamented the lack of a digital edition of this calendar, even hoping for the possibility of an app. I bit the bullet and input all the data for 2018 and don't want to keep it to myself.
