The World is Open

Sabbath Together just got a lot bigger. Gatherings can now be created and discovered from anywhere in the world—and the homepage now shows you exactly where people are celebrating Sabbath.

• Global Sabbath Map on the Homepage

  MapNew

  A stunning 3D interactive globe now greets visitors on the homepage, showing every public gathering ever hosted on Sabbath Together. Spin it, explore it, and feel the scope of what this community is becoming. A live activity list sits alongside it so you can see what's happening right now.

• Worldwide Location Support

  MapNew

  Gatherings and profiles are no longer limited to the United States. You can now create or join gatherings anywhere in the world. Non-US hosts get a City/Region text field instead of a state picker, and the map uses a globe projection so every location renders beautifully.

• Customizable Reminder Emails

  Event pagesNew

  Gathering hosts can now fully personalize the reminder emails sent to attendees—choose the send mode, write a custom subject line, and craft a personal message. Dynamic tokens like {{event_title}} automatically fill in the right details. You can even fire off a test email to yourself before it goes out.

• Built for Community — New Homepage Section

  New

  The homepage now features a new 'Built for Community' section showcasing everything Sabbath Together has to offer: the Planner, Tracker, Journal, custom gathering pages, messaging, and reminders—all laid out in one clear, welcoming section for first-time visitors.

• Sabbath Wall Moderation Polish

  Improved

  The Sabbath Wall moderation interface got a visual refresh—cleaner layout, sharper typography, clearer action labels, and more prominent feedback messages to make managing the Wall smoother.

Tonight's update

We hope you were able to celebrate love today. Here's what we shipped: better visuals, smarter gathering logic, and a more polished experience across the app.

• Spectacular Animated Backgrounds

  Event pagesImproved

  Gatherings now feature stunning animated background patterns. Choose from spectacular or classic styles, and backgrounds dynamically adapt to your chosen gathering color. SVG patterns were simplified for better performance, and all animations respect reduced-motion accessibility preferences.

• Expanded Color Palette & Picker

  Event pagesImproved

  The color selection UI in gathering customization got a major upgrade—more colors to choose from and a much smoother picking experience. Your gathering, your vibe.

• Invite-Only Event Badge

  Event pagesNew

  Gatherings marked as invite-only now display a clear visibility badge across the gatherings list, sidebar, and detail views so you always know at a glance.

• Mobile Browse by Category Redesign

  MapImproved

  The Browse by Category section was redesigned specifically for mobile—better layout, easier tapping, and a cleaner look on smaller screens.

• Event Visibility & Date Filtering Fix

  Event pagesFixed

  Fixed inconsistencies in which gatherings appeared on the Dashboard, Gatherings page, and Discover page. Past gatherings are now properly filtered everywhere, and all three pages stay perfectly in sync.

• Event Permissions Tightened

  Event pagesImproved

  Refined who can edit gatherings—permission checks and role management were streamlined so only the right people can make changes.

• Tracker Journal Polish

  TrackerImproved

  Updated the dialog layout and styling in the Sabbath Tracker journal for a cleaner writing experience.

• Sabbath Banner Accuracy

  Fixed

  The Sabbath Banner now shows and hides at the right times with improved visibility logic.

Sabbath Tracker 📊

Use the Sabbath Tracker as a journal: write reflections and notes about your Sabbath, record prayers, and note how and when they're answered. It becomes a lasting reminder of God's faithfulness. You can still see what you did (activities and timeline)—we're actively optimizing this feature and would love your feedback.
