Recently we decided to add a digital notice board to the outside of our church building. Some might feel this is an extravagance, and many churches would not have the resources (or desire) to spend money on signage, but a road study revealed that around 11 million cars pass our site every year. So it seemed a good idea to let people know when we meet and invite them to join us. One shouldn’t need an angelic revelation to discover the time of a church service.
We have also determined that cheesy Christian slogans will be banned from our shiny new electronic gizmo. Over the years, I’ve spotted quite a few of these horrific manifestations. “If you think it’s hot here, just wait” chortled one sign during a particularly toasty heatwave. That’s right up there with: “Eternity. Smoking or Non-smoking?”
