Success story
Church of the Magdalen
Wichita, Kansas
An invitation the neighborhood can see
The Church of the Magdalen wanted its message to reach beyond the bulletin board. A NEXT LED outdoor display gives the Wichita parish a visible way to share Mass times, ministries, outreach opportunities and uplifting messages with parishioners and neighbors passing the campus.
The challenge
Reach beyond the parish bulletin
- Limited street visibilityStatic signs and bulletin boards were easy for passing drivers and pedestrians to overlook.
- Slow schedule changesLast-minute cancellations and weather updates were difficult to communicate quickly.
- Broader community outreachThe parish wanted to reach neighbors who might not already attend services.
The solution
A visible, flexible parish message
- Prominent placementThe outdoor display sits at the front of the property, visible to traffic and pedestrians.
- Full-color communicationText, images and other digital content give services and events a clear presence.
- Simple updates and schedulingStaff training and easy-to-use software support timely messages and planned announcements.
