If your news is hosted on another website, enter a Custom News URL and this will be used to link from the News stories tab on the News and Notices page on your church site.
If both your news and notices are hosted on another website, or you don't need the Notice sheet functionality, enter a Custom News and Notices URL and this will be used in the side navigation menu instead of the AChurchNearYou.com provided News and Notices page.
Only one Custom News URL field can be filled out otherwise an error will appear when saving the homepage.
If a URL is entered in the Custom "News" URLs section, no news story will be featured on the church homepage.
