Episcopal Church Welcomes You signs

Our Episcopal Church Welcomes You signs are true icons of sorts. Certainly among our own members they are comfortable reminders of our unity as Episcopalians. They just seem to pop - up everywhere.

However, many of our churches' signs are in poor condition. They are either old or rusty or covered over by vines and no longer offer that visual welcome that the words so directly convey. -

A new design has been created, along with the general branding guidelines, by the Office of Communication at the Church Center. Please mention to your rectors that it may be time for them to take a good hard look at the condition of their signs and suggest they replace or perhaps reposition their signs with the new look. We can't take for granted how important these signs are to our evangelism. 

Signs can be ordered on this website: www.EpiscopalMarketplace.org. - Additional-information can be obtained by calling 866-937-2772. The signs are available in English and Spanish.
