"Jesus loves you and He approves this message." (seen around election time last year).

Another church I drove by had on their marquee: "CH CH". What's missing? ;)

I was once visiting a Jewish neighborhood in New Orleans - there was an add at a bus station that said simply "Jesus Saves." Someone wrote underneath "Moses Invests." :lol:

A church by where I used to live had this sign saying "There's No Business Like Soul Business". I always liked that one, and any 1960's R&B record label could have also used that slogan.

This isnt a real one, but did anybody ever see the move Which Way is Up with Richard Pryor??? He plays a sleazy preacher in that one and outside of the church the sign says "Talk to Me, I Talk To God". I though it was pretty funny considering the movie(you'll have to watch it to get it).

I live in Kentucky and back in January, and I heard about this a few days weeks/days after things had settled down. We were in church and somebody said they pass by this other church every morning on their way to work. They said the sign read: Did you see God or the mess?
That got a few amens from the congregation.
If you didn't see how KY looked on the news when we had Winter Storm '09 (as some people in KY call it. My family does anyway), it was horrible. There's videos of it on YouTube. Just type in Kentucky Winter Storm 2009.

There's a little "town" (farms really) just south of me called, "Claude". They have a little church on the "main drag" that would seat maybe 50 at most. A very modest parking lot is attached.

Most recently, their sign announced, "FREE PARKING FOR THE FIRST 200 CARS!"

Whoever does their signs has quite a sense of humour - they're almost always funny and it DOES draw attention.

Last spring I went there to get plants and the money goes to the church. The elders were there and we joked and laughed so hard. It made me buy more plants than I had planned! And when I lamented that I would love a ***** willow bush, the eldest elder to me to hang on a half hour, and they'd be back with one - they'd steal it from his neighbour's property! :lol: All in fun and "church irony" of course. ;)

If I were to join any church in my area, it would be this one.

Just checked out a link and actually, it's the same Claude Presbyterian Church that has the "Some Questions Can't Be Answered By Google" one too! hahaha
