For a limited time when you pre-order the 2026 Little Church Planner, you will receive a FREE Draw Near Designs sticky note pack and pen to ensure maximum organization for your coming year.

Please note that pre-ordered planners will ship in the first two weeks of October, and anything else you include in the same order will ship then, with your planners.

A weekly planner based on the Orthodox Christian calendar for January–December 2026!

The Little Church Planner helps us to make our “little churches” places of prayer and worship every day by denoting festal and fasting periods, as well as listing feasts, saints and scripture readings for each day. Also included is space to record names for intercession, plan meals, and make notes. There are planners for the great fasts of Lent and Nativity; festal planners for Holy Week, Thanksgiving, and Nativity; monthly dashboards for planning goals and tracking habits; and a yearly view with feasts, holidays, and fasting periods for all of 2025.

LITTLE CHURCH PLANNER FEATURES
