Joe Culpepper/Gulf Breeze News Motorists traveling U.S. Highway 98 east of Gulf Breeze often are ministered to by thought-provoking sign marquees in front of a number of churches. Sometimes the messages are humorous, while other times they are serious. Regardless, churches feel they are helping spread the Gospel by posting messages aimed at the masses. Watch future editions of Gulf Breeze News for more examples.
