Churches throughout the Cape Region use their outdoor signs, aka wayside pulpits, to send messages of faith, hope, love and spirituality. While some go for basic information, others take it to the next level with clever phrases to promote the church or their faith. 

Here is a collection of photographs of church signs taken July 22.
