# Turn a Pile of Dates Into a single List With AI

[AI Prompt of the Week](https://mooneyprojects.com/blog/tag/ai-prompt-of-the-week)

Before your planning meeting, you can collect every date you can find: texts, flyers, notes from the bulletin board, the pastor's planner, a scanned copy of the piece of paper you wrote 5 dates on last Sunday. Paste them all into ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or Gemino with this prompt:

> I am planning our church calendar for 2027. Below are event dates I collected from ministry leaders, flyers, and notes. Put them into one list sorted by date, with the event name, the ministry, and the date. Flag any dates that conflict with each other or with major holidays like Easter (March 28, 2027) and Thanksgiving (November 25). List anything that is missing a date or a ministry name at the end, so I know who to follow up with.
> 
> \[paste your dates here\]

## What to do with the list

Read it over before you trust it. AI is good at sorting, but it can misread a date written in a hurry, so check anything that looks off against the original note.

Then use the "missing" section at the bottom as your follow-up list. Those are the leaders to call or text before the meeting, so the calendar you build is complete.

Bring the clean list to the meeting along with the [free 2027 Ministry Planning Calendar](https://mooneyprojects.com/blog/plan-2027-church-calendar), and you will spend your time deciding instead of searching.

## One rule, as always

Leave out anything private, like member names in pastoral care notes. Event names and dates are fine to paste. People's personal details are not. If you need a refresher, read [One Rule for Using AI in the Church Office](https://mooneyprojects.com/blog/one-rule-for-using-ai-in-the-church-office).
