the line for "Prayer Meeting" looked so much better BEFORE my daughter said "Mom, you forgot to add the Sunday Evening service..." That was right before she asked me if I knew I had painted the Sunday morning services with the letters PM after their times. ;) Like I said, or shou...

THANK you for the feedback. You're right about the need to practice hand-lettering alphabets. In fact, when I realized I'd been semi-volunteered to do this, and with a really short deadline (they're having a revival tomorrow and need their sign back up), I had to run to the library and get some call...
