GALVESTON — A Galveston County church is dangling a couple of motorized carrots to increase its congregation.
Abundant Life Christian Center in La Marque will give away a new Chrysler PT Cruiser to a woman and a Harley Davidson Sportster to a man at its New Year’s Eve service.
Parishioners and visitors have been eligible to enter for the free drawings each time they attended a service in recent weeks, and members who brought visitors could enter twice.
The church purchased the vehicles. The winners must be at Wednesday’s service to drive them away.
“This is an opportunity to give something to someone that will encourage people to come to the house of the Lord,” Pastor Walter Hallam told the Galveston County Daily News in Sunday’s editions. “We want to do something to have a positive effect on people’s lives.”

At first this might seem not to be appropriate. Yet it is Bible based if the car was a Jesus Chrysler. And of course Davidson was Solomon.

Yeah but the Popemobile still kicks the PT Cruiser’s butt. Imagine dem two vehicles at a tractor pull. No contest! And the Pope wouldn’t even get his garments dirty.
Hmm…I guess when you don’t have the True Presence you gotta think of some gimmick to get
’em in the pews, right? 😉
and to think they criticize bingo?
what did jesus do to the moneychangers?
Cars are very biblical, as long as you carpool… Acts 5:12 indicates that “they [the early believers] were all with one Accord in Solomon’s Porch” … which must have been, like, Temple Parking, y’know?
That’s the trouble with Papists, they don’t rightly divide the Word of Truth.
I don’t like taking an automotive fundamentalist approach. You know, Edsel in the Bible.
Of course cars are Biblical. How else could God DRIVE Adam and Eve outta Eden?
