Big Things are Coming to Zion
We’re just days away from the installation of Zion’s new digital bulletin board in the Narthex. Pictured here are Mike Debowski, Board of Trustees (left); Brent Miller, webmaster (right); and Mike Kroeger, Board of Elders (not pictured … sorry Mike). Lots of time and research went into the purchase of this 77” Samsung flat-screen TV, along with the software needed to run the bulletin board.
The great thing is, this is an off-the-shelf TV, it’s not a special, high-priced electronic bulletin board. And more good news, the TV was purchased at a huge discount. plus, the software that runs the bulletin board is free, and member-volunteers will be installing it, and maintaining/updating the digital-sign. "Many hands make light work."
The goal of this new piece of tech is to enhance communication with members and visitors as they enter-and-exit Zion. There will be rotating slides that feature upcoming events, special announcements, the schedule for elders, altar guild, ushers, and acolytes. There will also be photos of Zion’s council, boards, elders, staff, and helpers. And with enough notice, we can feature photos of the bride & groom for weddings at Zion, or special graphics for funerals and events. We can even embed QR-Codes (for smartphones) so that one can instantly access additional information.
