			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>I think this will be a reoccurring post as I find material. For a while, I&#8217;ve been saving all those stupid &#8220;Christian&#8221; pamphlets like &#8220;Only Read the KJV&#8230;&#8221; and I&#8217;ve decided to share some of the better ones with you guys.  I thought I&#8217;d get us started with some brilliantly obnoxious, theologically obscene, and just plain goofy church signs.  I had a few written down but I found most of them here at <a href="http://crummychurchsigns.blogspot.com/">http://crummychurchsigns.blogspot.com/</a> .  This guy not only posts pictures of the signs but he has great comments on all of them like</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;You think it&#8217;s hot here&#8230;.&#8221;</strong><br />
<em>-submitted by Laua Enfinger, Arizona<br />
</em><font color="#808080">This is the fourth sign I have received from Arizona comparing it to hell. I don&#8217;t think I plan on visiting there.</font></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p align="left"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Five years ago our <a href="http://www.crossbridge.cc/">church</a> encouraged all the community group leaders to host Halloween block parties in their front yard. The idea was to get the church involved where the people were and not go hiding in some parking lot for a &#8220;fall festival&#8221;. As our pastor Chuck put it, &#8220;we don&#8217;t value ghosts and goblins; we value people&#8230;and candy&#8221;. It has become a great neighborhood outreach for Monique and I and our community groups. Every year around the start of October our neighbors start asking if we are going to have our block party again. I really love the opportunity it gives us to get to know our neighbors a little better (and the candy isn&#8217;t a bad perk). This year we gave out 238 hotdogs with all the fixins, 321 cold drinks, at least 100 pounds of chocolate, and 82 cans of play-doh. When people ask why we get to tell them that this is just our way of showing God&#8217;s love for them in a practical way. </span></p>
