We pass them every day. So often that we barely even notice them.
Churches put up signs to draw people into their community. Theyโre essentially welcome signs. Friendly and to the point, they often simply display information of their next gathering and/or service.
But one church, Wantagh Memorial Congregational Church, is pushing the envelope. Pastor Ron Garner displays thought-provoking and, at times, controversial signs in front of his church in Wantagh, New York. Despite the attention they have garnered, his message is clear, all are welcome.
The signs are clever and witty but in good taste. Take a look at some of his most popular signs!
1) Just Like Us
Struggling to make ends meet sounds prett familar to most. Jesus was relateable.
2) Knowing the Difference
Before beginning any arguement about class, know the difference between the two.
3) No Excuses!
I donโt know about you but one of these two scenarios makes for a pretty cool storyโฆ
4) Support Those Who Need It
Look out for those who may not be able to help themselves!
5) Beware!
The pumpkins are coming in hot! Or coldโฆ however you like them. Either way, theyโre coming!
6) Lilโ Bit of Old, Lilโ Bit of New
Need we say more? You know the deal. You are loved!
7) May His Force Be With You!
This is a Star Wars reference, yโall. Pastor Ron means business.
8) Equality for All!
Here we have Judge Walker getting a shout-out for making strides in the community!
9) Come As You Are!
It seems like the pastor really, really likes Star Wars!
10) Healthcare for All!
โYou get health care! And you get health care! We all gettinโ health care!,โ proclaimed Jesus.
11) One is Okay, The Other is a no, No, NO
Well said, Pastor!
12) Goals
Live life to your full potential, shake things up a bit!
13) No Matter How You Wrap It
Just because you say it in prayer doesnโt make it okay.
14) Tweet, Tweet
I see what he did there. Thatโs right, Pastor Ron, reel them in!

They say consistency is key. Canโt change who you are depending on the day of the week!
16) A Healthy Home
I mean, he only turned out to be the greatest person ever!
17) Brief Meetings
Hereโs to hoping theyโre short!
18) Priceless
Thereโs no financial cost for that!
19) Kindness Doesnโt Know Labels
Now, thatโs an oxymoron!
20) Did You Know?
Now you do so letโs be more open!
Pastor Ron is making sure that everyone knows that they are welcome in his church. While many may feel ostercized from the religious community for various reasons, Pastor Ron wants everyone to know that this isnโt the case for his congregation. Come one, come all!
