ok, it's not really a contest.
somehow i've been given the duty of coming up with stuff to put on our sign out front. and i freaking suck at thinking of stuff to put up.
what i've been doing so far is have one catchy thing on the north sign (so southbound traffic will see it on their side of the street) and then a generic "welcome" thing on the south side (northbound traffic is probably unlikely to look our way anyway).
so far on the welcome side, i've had:
"all are welcome"
"all are welcome...seriously"
"it's not humanly possible to be more welcome"
current: "all are welcome. srsly kthnxbai" (might not keep this one for long)
on the other side i've had:
"Jesus loves everyone, even our pastor"
"if you're close enough to see this, you're close enough to come in" (i had to abbreviate this one, we only have two limited lines of space)
"can't stop sinning? neither can we"
some others i thought of (but got nixed) are:
"if you think this sign is lame, you should meet our pastor"
"signs like these are really dated, but the gospel isn't"
"come hear our pastor. he's not very good but his sermons are short"
"school zone ahead, slow down. church right here, come in"
"if our pastor were alone in the church, would he still preach a sermon?"
"we spent a lot of time on this sign and this is all we came up with"
"this sign sucks. come in and give us new ideas"
and one i'm saving for lent: "God will never give you up. God will never let you down." (on the other side) "God will never turn around, and desert you"
I NEED NEW IDEAS. MY IDEAS SUCK. WHOEVER COMES UP WITH A HALF DECENT THING TO PUT ON THE SIGN I PROMISE I'LL PUT IT UP.
this is your chance to see your work in flashing lights. actually, more like steady low-wattage florescent, but you get the idea.
