The two signboards directing Mall visitors to Local Places of Worship are recently relocated.   Signboard One is now placed just inside the third floor MOA East entrance.  Signboard Two is located just inside the first floor MOA West entrance.  The sign boards have placards giving the times of service and location for the congregations who are Mall Area Religious Council members.  Visitors to the Mall take placards and many come to worship with the congregations.  Interested persons/congregations may call 952-851-0788  Also go to Membership Information

Space for additional congregations is available. The intention is to add several more signboards throughout the Mall. In addition plans are under way to develop an electronic information kiosk that will use touch screen technology and will have print out capability. Designers and providers of this kind of device are asked to contact MARC.  Email
