AUSTINTOWN

The small Log Cabin Church of Austintown at 565 N. Canfield-Niles Road situated itself in 2010 near trees and land that had been for sale for years.

The landscape changed last May, when construction at Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course began construction next door.

An electronic billboard went up, featuring an advertisement for Hollywood Gaming, about 15 feet from the church front door.

Terry and Nancy Snyder decided then to erect a cross that is connected to the Southern Baptist church.

The cross is tall, but not nearly as tall as the billboard.

You have to recognize the fact that to look at that [billboard], they have to see the cross of Jesus Christ sitting right next to it. God has designed things. Nothing is all good, and nothing is all bad, said Terry Snyder, pastor of Log Cabin.
