Set Up a Group's Primary Event
Learn the difference between a primary and non-primary event, then create a primary event for a group.
A primary event is the principal meeting time a groups gets together. For example, the Women in Ministry group meets once a month on the first Wednesday for Bible Study and a light dinner. However, the same group hosts a holiday wreathe-making event in on first Saturday of December. The monthly Wednesday meeting is the primary event. The added Saturday wreathe-making event is the non-primary event.
This displays as the Primary Event on the Info tab. A group can only have one primary event, however this can be changed. Also, your group doesn't have to set a primary event if it isn't needed.
Putting a group in recess impacts only the primary event. See Put Your Group Into Recess.
