For those of you who follow this blog I am not changing Sign Wednesday to Thursday but I have been swamped.  I will go back to Wednesday and I promise to write about the importance of the large format printer very soon.  Let's get on with the show, and discuss one sign that is in most churches older than 15 years.  It is the ...
