With its use of three different fonts, using two colours, italicisation and different angles for them, it packs in almost everything one wants from a church pun poster except, crucially, a pun.
The style nicely echoes the content, with its 'don't forget to sniff the daisies' type philosophy, but there is nothing to really make you think, nothing that provokes slightly more thought and nothing that really directs you to a specifically Christian answer. I know I have criticised other posters for being too explicit and not giving the audience the credit of being able to work it out for themselves, but this one could have done with a little hint in the right direction, a little something to make you pause and think a little more about the poster... and that, my friends, is the role of the pun.
Also it is a shame the punctuation lets it down, assuming the half-hearted apostrophe was deliberate - if not it must have been added by a grammar vigilante who needs to brush up on the subject themselves...
