# How to use the same Agenda for multiple worship services?

With the *"Integrated Agendas* " feature in the Events module, you can use the same agenda for multiple services at the same time—ideal for identical services held on different campuses or at different times.

Your changes to the Agenda automatically apply to all integrated services. You can still individually show or hide specific program items for each service. With integrated Agendas, you can efficiently coordinate multiple events using a single Agenda—while still allowing for customization for each event.

**Prerequisite**

- The events for which you want to use a shared Agenda must **already** have been **created**
- They take place **on the same day**.
- They can be in **the same** **calendar** or in **different calendars**.

## 1. Create an agenda for the first worship service

1. In *the Events module*, open the *Agenda* (1) for the event you want to plan first (e.g., Service A).
2. Select an *event template* or *continue without one*.

**Note**

When you open an Agenda (with or without a template), it becomes available for other events as well. The Agenda is then displayed on the left side of the Agenda selection list, along with the date and event title. If an event’s Agenda has never been opened, it cannot be selected for other events.

## 2. Integrate the agenda into another event

Open the second event (e.g., Service B) for which you want to use the same Agenda. Click the paper icon (2) to create a new Agenda.

From the dropdown menu, select the Agenda (3) that you created for the first event.

**Tip**

If the agenda isn't displayed, check to see if you've already opened it in the first event and whether the events are taking place on the same day.

You now have a choice between two options:

- *Copy*: Creates a separate copy of the Agenda.
- *Integrate*: Links the events to a common Agenda (recommended for identical worship services).

Select " *Integrate*." (4)

## 3. Edit the agenda and keep it up to date

The agenda now shows several *time columns*, one for each scheduled event (e.g., 10 a.m. and 11 a.m.).

Changes such as moving or renaming elements affect all integrated events.

## 4. Hide individual elements for specific worship services

Not every part of the program is included in every service? Then you can hide specific parts.

In the Agenda, click on the *time of the item* (5) that is not supposed to take place during a specific service. A *crossed-out eye* appears—the item is hidden for that service.

**Examples**

- All elements up to the *sermon* and the *blessing* take place in both services. → remain synchronized
- *Song "Higher"* only during the 10 a.m. service → Time slot removed from the 11 a.m. service
- *The song "Hallelujah"* has been omitted from the earlier service → it will be omitted from the 10 a.m. service

**Warning**

If you delete the built-in Agenda, it will be deleted for all events.
