Church tag lines

It seems Minot ND is not exempt from the need to advertise and market to cars driving by a church. Have you ever read a church’s sign and thought, Now That’s Clever! No? How about, Now That’s Cheesy! Yeah, thought that might be the case.

Wherever we go in this country we see these signs and it’s gotten to the point that Josh will call me at work just to tell me one as he passes by. We’ve gotten to the point where the church with the best tag line actually gets some kudos from us for it’s originality. Because you know that some guy is sitting in the church thinking how catchy his one liner was this week. He probably saves them up just to spread them out over a 52 week period.

I just have one question, who actually stops their car and goes into the church because a catchy tag line caught their eye and heart? Who are these people? I want to meet them!

Anyway, here’s the one that Josh saw today…coincidently the same church that has graced us with tag lines many times since we’ve moved here.

Come Worship in the SON-Shine (on the front)
Our Church is PRAYER-Conditioned (on the back)

That will always make me laugh! :) Of course it’s not like it was a faux pas as the one we saw in Athens, GA that time: “Stumbling our way towards unfaithfulness.”

Ryan and I have one particularly teeny old church that we pass a lot and it’s our little ritual to slow down and take in the…um…poetry.
This week’s gem:
“don’t get burned. Use our Son-block”

Joanna, your blog is delightful! the WORST church sign i ever saw,in the summer out in the middle of nowhere on the way to Rome, GA:
“Yes, it’s hot outside, but Hell is hotter.”
