As you may have heard, session has approved new signage for the front of the church and the order for the project has been placed. Here are some details on the project:
Team:
Ted Mills (Project Mgr.), Rev. Ben Robbins, Bonnie Elphinstone, Julia Zurbach
Deliverables:
2-Sided 3’ x 8’ Programmable Digital Sign
2-Sided 3’ x 8’ Fixed LED Sign with Church Name
New Electrical Power Feed
Schedule:
Ordered: August 30
Sign Delivery Est: 6 weeks from order placement
Installation & Completion Est : 7 weeks from order placement
Cost & Funding:
Cost: Approx. $25,000 (fully installed)
The majority of funding will be from already in-hand donations. The remainder will come, as necessary, from the Major Repairs and Maintenance account, but the hope is that, instead, the remaining amount can be raised by a combination of additional individual donations and possibly from the Memorial Fund.
Picture:
The attached photo is the vendor’s rough estimate as to what the signs will look like. Final design of the top sign is in the works and the digital sign originally considered was 4’x8’, so we’ve blocked off the bottom of the sign in the picture to show the 3’x8’ sign that has been purchased.
Request – Please consider helping the project with a donation:
We hope that everyone shares our enthusiasm for the new sign and our hope and expectation that the sign will increase our visibility and effective reach to our community and to those otherwise unfamiliar with our church. If you do share these sentiments, we ask that you would consider making a donation to the project, making it out to the church and designating it for the “New Front Sign”.
