This might be the most poorly constructed sign in terms of composition, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and general appearance that has ever been submitted. Congratulations, Texas!

I'm just sure the kiddies are thrilled by a Halloween alternative that doesn't include the word "treat" anywhere in the title.
Hey, it might rock, I dunno....but the sign sure doesn't give us a clue.

"Sermon Broken"

Some little quotation marks and a colon could go a long ways. As in:
Sermon: "Broken"
See?

Not technically a church sign (a BBQ pit store), but I love the fact that Jesus can use His reputation to get a good discount on all His BBQ needs. My guess is He doesn't need it to BBQ pork.
Keep 'em coming.
Um, I gotta admit, "Trick or Trunk" does intrigue me! It might at least make me call the church office & find out what it was.
ReplyDeleteExtra points for advertising their T-or-T without a message like "Hey Pagan! Try our alternative celebration instead of your devil-worshiping one!"
"Sermon Broken"
ReplyDeletePlease try again next week.
These signs are bad in all areas: grammar, punctuation, clarity, and so forth. Whew!
ReplyDeleteBut I needed the laugh. Thanks, Joel!
I was looking on that first sign and thinking maybe those red letters are like some kind of code! You know, like those puzzles you play as a kid! Let's see:

...darn.
I can only suppose they mean "Trunk or Treat", which a lot of churches do on Halloween. Some Mo-Mo in this church no doubt heard about it from his second cousin Tilly, whose church in Des Moines had a Trunk or Treat event last year, but said Mo-Mo wasn't really paying attention when Tilly told him all about it and he didn't bother to check it out.
ReplyDeleteWhat really intrigues me is the "It's back". Are we to understand from the quotation marks that it's not really back, and they're just saying "It's back"?
I used to go to a "trick or trunk" when I was a kid in the ol' hometown. All the members of the church (who wanted to participate) would park around the church lot with 'goodies' in the trunks of their cars; candy, popcorn balls, cookies, etc. There would then be music and games.
ReplyDeleteYes, a 70's version of a 'safe' Halloween.
