I'd use a shorter lens and get rid of the sign, it's distracting.
It's an interesting dilemma - the sign that is. A poster in another forum looked at this same set of photos and commented essentially that I should ask myself ::
"am I taking a picture of a church, or am I taking a picture of a specific church?"
If the answer is "any church", then the sign goes away because like you, I find it distracting. But, if I am taking a picture of "that" church, then the sign is an important part, as is the addition, so both should stay as they reflect what is there "today".
