Helping a Church Stay Connected with an Electronic Message Centre

July 23, 2026

For churches, communication extends far beyond Sunday morning. Worship services, youth programs, community breakfasts, seasonal events, retreats, and volunteer opportunities all depend on keeping people informed.

Fort Garry Mennonite Fellowship Church has been doing exactly that for decades. Since its beginnings in the late 1960s, the congregation has grown from a small group meeting in rented facilities to an established church serving approximately 200 members from its home on Bayridge Avenue in Winnipeg.

To support that ongoing communication, Electra Sign Ltd. fabricated and installed a custom Electronic Message Centre monument sign that combines permanent branding with flexible digital messaging.

Unlike traditional signs that remain unchanged for years, an Electronic Message Centre gives organizations the ability to update information whenever needed. Whether announcing worship times, promoting youth activities, inviting the community to seasonal celebrations, or sharing special events, the display keeps messages current while maintaining a professional appearance.

For organizations like Fort Garry Mennonite Fellowship Church, the sign serves as more than an identifier. It is another way to connect with neighbours, welcome new visitors, and keep the surrounding community informed about what's happening throughout the year.

A well designed monument sign creates a lasting first impression, while the digital display ensures that message continues to evolve with the organization it represents.

At Electra Sign Ltd., we enjoy building signage that supports not only our clients' brands, but also the communities they serve.
