The 2010 Pocket Diary is ready
The 2010 Pocket Diary is now available online!
We are committed to diligent stewardship of financial and natural resources, and so are our customers.
Thank you for helping to manage our resources so that we can serve you better.
The CPH Pocket Diary is now available as an Internet-based or downloadable calendar file. This file includes the complete set of occasions from the Lutheran Service Book Three-Year Lectionary, including descriptive paragraphs for all Commemorations, pericopes for dates in the Church Year, and additional reminders and important dates.
This Internet calendar is made available free of charge to our customers. Because it is available at no cost, it is also unsupported; the calendar file has been made using the best standard available, and these instructions are provided to assist you in using it. If you are unable to import or subscribe to the calendar, please check your software's manual or help system to ensure it supports the iCalendar file standard, then search the help system for additional assistance if required.
Users of Palm PDAs will need to enable syncing with Microsoft Outlook or another program that uses the iCalendar (.ics) standard. Palm Desktop does not utilize the iCalendar standard and thus is not supported. More information on this process can be found at the Palm Web site or by consulting your Palm documentation.
