Since we use Microsoft 365 across our organizations, we have the benefit of using shared calendars! ACS staff can access public ACS calendars and Mountain City Church staff can access public Mountain City Church calendars.

To open a shared calendar using the Microsoft Outlook Desktop Application, follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Outlook
2. Open the Calendar in Outlook
3. On the Home tab of the ribbon at the top of Outlook, click 'Add Calendar' and choose 'From Address Book...'
4. In the window that loads, locate the calendar you wish to add (i.e. Mountain City Church Public Calendar) and double click it
5. Click 'OK' to add the calendar to your list of 'Shared Calendars'

To open a shared calendar using Office.com, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to https://www.office.com
2. Click the red 'Sign In' button
3. Enter your ACS or Mountain City Church email address
4. Enter your password
5. Click on 'Outlook' on the left-hand side in the vertical menu
6. Open the Calendar in Outlook
7. On the left-hand side, click 'Add Calendar'
8. In the window that loads, select the option 'Add from Directory'
9. Type the name of the person or calendar you wish to add (i.e. ACS Public Calendar) and select it
10. Click 'Add'
11. Close the Add Calendar window

The shared calendar will now appear in your list of calendars under Shared Calendars, Other Calendars, or People's calendars, depending on how it was set up. What you are able to view or edit in the calendar will depend on the permissions you have been granted for that specific calendar.
