Church Signs Of The Times?

Pastor Darrin Lee poses at his Cornerstone Baptist Church in Farmington Hills, Mich., Tuesday. Some pastors are eager to update the age-old practice of luring in worshippers with messages on marquees out front of the church.

Question: Do you like/dislike church marquee signs that offer clever, pithy or even funny comments?
