Large Sign Board in Church Lobby

Post by larrybryant »

Our church uses the PowerChurch Event module to create the monthly calendar and sync it with Google Calendar which is then published on our church's website. We have found this feature useful for keeping our website updated with a current event listing by simply embedding the HTML on the website without having to teach our secretary how to update a web page. This has served us well for years, but recently we wanted to be able publish the monthly calendar on a large sign board in our church lobby as well. We found a solution that I believe others may be interested in trying. There is an online service, DAKBoard, that can access a Google Calendar feed (or other service) and publish it (along with other items like photos, local time, and local weather) using only a web browser. With the falling prices of large screen LCD panels, we were able to find a sizable display for a reasonable price and are using DAKboard to publish the calendar in the lobby that also cycles through photographs hosted on a website (like Google Photos, DropBox, or Instagram. Take a look at http://www.dakboard.com and see if you find it useful. We regularly have people gathered around the TV each morning before church looking at the church event photographs while keeping them updated on upcoming church events.
