The Christian Seasons Calendar encourages Christians to be a "salty people", living faithfully in the world. The secular calendar has its origins in the Roman Empire where on January 1 Roman officials took office. The alternative format of the Christian Seasons Calendar is a daily reminder that we are primarily citizens in the kingdom of God, living in God's time.

Using the Christian Seasons Calendar - Placed in the home and office, the Christian Seasons Calendar is a distinctive reminder of the Christian way of life. Given as a gift at baptisms, confirmations and weddings, it encourages lives that are lived in God's time. Christian educators find the Christian Seasons Calendar to be a valuable teaching resource with children and families. Congregations welcome in the Christian Year with a Christian New Year's Party.
