Sign Becomes Symbol of Faith and a Beacon of Hope

Participating in a presentation for the sign subsidy were Jeffrey Thompson, Ph.D. (left), senior pastor; Chevin Fiddler, treasurer; and Fernando Staple, first elder.

 

 

Florida Conference’s generous $2,000 subsidy was instrumental in the installation of a new sign at Sunrise Church in Lauderhill, Florida. As Jeffrey Thompson, Ph.D., senior pastor, aptly puts it, “The new state-of-the-art acrylic sign, installed on August 8, 2024, is more than just a sign. It is a symbol of our faith and a beacon of hope for our community. We are deeply grateful for Florida Conference’s support in this endeavor.”

The sign, with its LED lights and timer, serves not only as a beacon of our faith, but also as a constant reminder of our shared values. Its visibility from West Oakland Park Boulevard enhances our sense of belonging and community spirit. As Thompson explains, “One part of the sign has the permanent name and address of the church. The other part of the sign has changeable lettering, which means the message can be changed whenever we choose to do so.

“We also want to commend Franklyn Wilson, local elder, and Theo Jones, head deacon, for their dedication and hard work in painting the boxing of the sign and installing the changeable lettering during the process,” said Thompson. “Their efforts have not only contributed to the physical installation of the sign, but also to the strengthening of our community spirit.”

The church also recently unveiled a new logo that now graces the website. This logo, a testament to the church’s identity, is the creative work of Deborah Sales.

“We want to thank Florida Conference for its special program of assisting churches in its territory with a maximum subsidy of $2,000 toward new signs once the paid invoices are presented,” said Thompson. “This program, designed to support the growth and visibility of local churches, is a testament to Florida Conference’s commitment to its community.”
