Living Hope Welch Events Calendar

Tyson Wynn, the pastor for the Living Hope Baptist Church in Welch, Oklahoma contacted me to build a better way to post church events on the website. The theme he’d purchased for the site had an event system built in. However, the system was clunky and did not offer the option of recurring events.

Why someone would build an event system that way was beyond me, but I set to work incorporating his Google Calendar into the theme using the Google Calendar API, version 3. After researching the API, I decided that dynamically adding the events through JavaScript’s AJAX capabilities was the best way to go for this scenario. I was able to incorporate the events list into the existing Main page and Events page sections without altering the existing design.

The script I wrote will be available for use soon on my Github page.
