Church Sign Project Complete

Phase I of the church sign project is completed.

Without a lot of fanfare and minimal funding, the church has completed the replacement of the church "banner" portion of the signage by Highway 34.

Requested by the pastor over a year ago, funding was planned by Evangelism with the assistance of the Property Commission to replace the aging banner. The new banner base is coated or 'encapsulated' plywood, made to withstand the rigors of the weather better than regular painted wood.

The Property Commission installed letter tracks so that changeable messages can be placed on the sign as often as needed to advertise church events or sermon titles.

Why "Phase I"? With minimal funding, providing the changeable letters was an inexpensive way to replace hand-made or costly laser printed banners that had to be laminated, and took hours to plan, create, and install. The current solution is more of a proof of concept. Changing the letters still requires some manual work. If it (the idea) takes off, down the road the idea is to consider technical upgrades, such as signs that can be changed by computer.

So what do you think? Great teamwork everyone!
