While in Cincinnati this weekend<\/a> we saw some interesting church signs.
\nOne was the big black sign along the freeway that Dan Edelen referred to in this post<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A Church for People Who Don’t Like Church.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Our friends wanted to make sure we noticed that one too. I wonder if it’s really effective at bringing people in that wouldn’t come otherwise.
\nBetter still were two changeable church signs within about a mile of each other. The first was this:<\/p>\n

All the world’s a camera, look pleasant please.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that was a real sign on a church<\/em>. I had to ask Maria to repeat it for me (I was concentrating on staying behind our friends). Maybe it was intended as a sarcastic commentary on our culture or perhaps there was more to learn if I had been to the service that Sunday, but what Maria and I both thought immediately was “If you come to church here, please leave your problems at home and smile when you come in.” Things that make you go hmmm …
\nJust down the road was this sign, which made my laugh:<\/p>\n

Sign broken. Come inside for message.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
