Rivertown United Reformed Church is a modern, spiritual Christian church in Shotton, North Wales. As more and more members begin to communicate via e-mail and other electronic means, the idea of creating a website to facilitate communication (of church news and events to and between members) and promotion of the church becomes all the more appealing to the senior members and the Rivertown community alike.

The Rivertown site is based on a fairly full featured Drupal setup: categorised articles and news items, events and event calendar, sermons with audio versions, photo galleries and aggregated content for daily bible readings and reading plans.

The Rivertown site makes extensive use of events and the events calendar, including repeating events. The church is used extensively by the community for activities other than those immediately involving the church, such as support groups, youth clubs and music groups/band practices.

Weekly Notices have been published every Sunday at the church for many years, given out to all members to communicate both regular weekly events and advanced notices: events taking place not in the current week, but are of sufficient importance to be noted in advance.

We created a custom module to provide equivalent functionality, building on the events and repeating events modules. The main Weekly Notices page is generated automatically by listing the events occurring within the current week. Additionally, events can be marked to be included in the 'Advanced Notices' appended to the Weekly Notices, even if they do not occur in the current week.
