Sign Ministry.
Sometimes topical, sometimes humorous, and even sometimes controversial, our signs are a constant witness to our Lord as we engage the population in conversation.
 
Some of these signs have included: 
o   “Jesus loves you and I am trying really hard,”
o   “Even Jesus had a fish story!”
o   “God, His last name is not Damn!”
