Message Boards - A Ministry of Signs
New message board thoughts are not currently being
created at International Headquarters.
Please feel free to continue to use messages from previous years
that are applicable
to current themes.
Message board signs provide a unique opportunity to offer ministry to those
who drive by our congregations. We hope these resources will be helpful as
more and more congregations install message board signs and use them to
proclaim Jesus Christ and promote communities of joy, hope, love, and peace.
Congregations will also want to consider how message board signs can be
used to help people recognize their building when public events are held
there. Is your congregation used as an election polling location? What about a
"VOTE HERE" message for those looking for your building? Eagle Court
of Honor ceremonies, weddings, memorial services, and other activities of this
sort could have a message to help guide people into your parking area. The
avenues for ministry go on and on.
