last week i did a sunday slogan, and since i collected a few over the past few weeks, heres another one! taken during the same trip last saturday. they dont cease to amaze me.... in fat, whenever we drive past a church, im hoping to add another one to my collection, and im disappointed when they dont have a sign out front. sometimes theres still hope, i can see the sign from afar, but coming closer i see it only gives the hours for sunday prayer or reads "all are welcome" (how boring!).
the one above is a very bad one, i think. how on earth can they write that?! how does it make people who are maybe not so into god (or not at all) turn to him?
because i have so many questions regarding these signs, i google around a bit this week, but couldnt find much on wikipedia (bbuuhhh). i did find this site where they posted the most hilarious church signs (and many more weird ones in the comments). some of them i have seen myself around here, in the exact wording, so i do think churches share them. still dont know how this exactly goes though... perhaps priests make a lot of road trips and just note down the ones they like, and then use them for their own signs. hmm, but they could also just use the internet. a weekly email with the best slogans? a website from which they can pick? (would it be for free or is there this full time slogan write?) maybe...

Yep, this one is awful! Your photo is beautiful though, love the yellow/ochre.
Yes I love the yellow house behind too, but the signs are awfull, so much arrogance and self-satisfaction is disgusting.
hihi, yes, i also liked the yellow house. i preferred it much more than the church.... :) the only reason i would go in there is to tell them that their church sign is really awful and an attack to humankind... :)
The house makes this photo come to life, but. . .Hmmmm. Don't trust yourself? I can't even begin to address that one! But your post reminds me of one I saw and liked in Victoria, B.C. that I'll have to post.
i love how the church is able to spread the wrong message.. hahaha
Propaganda!!
If this sign is on a private area, I guess living in a country with democracy it is legal to put up a sign like this.
But I could have signed my name under "biebkriebels" comment!!
I could go on and on about this, but lets just say that some people are nuts.
