SUN WORSHIP 10:45
Not exactly the message I expected to see prominently displayed upon the marquee of a Baptist church. But, there it was. And there it remained, day after day, beckoning my eye as I drove to work.
Some sort of offering for comfort-loving pagans who prefer not to rise at dawn in order to worship the sun? A bait-and-switch tactic to attract some as-yet-unreached masses of Wiccans, Druids, Shamanists, and the like? Or just an unfortunate but rather funny example of misspelled abbreviation?
I hereby propose the "Order of Our Lady of Perpetual Stultification," to be conferred upon churches whose advertising signs regularly surpass the norm in the categories of inane content and/or poor grammar.
Pastors, take note - the people who read your marquees are already handing out this award, though probably not by the erudite title I have suggested.
Oh, and I'd like to say just one thing to whoever it was who thought up the slogan, "Be an organ donor - give your heart to Jesus." I humbly nominate you for Special Achievement in the category of really, really, really bad ideas for church-sign content.
