Words of Wisdom … quotes displayed on the sign by the road

Below you will find a list of the messages displayed on the Christ Church sign displayed by the street in front of the building. We’ve gotten many comments on these quotes over the years and have had several people visit us after they have been challenged by these messages while driving down League Line Road past the church.
