Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
The 6x10 seems like overkill for what you are doing. Remember, you have to carry it. Either way, spend a few bucks on removable casters.

Best $25 or so you will ever spend. Trust me.
Also, I don't know if either of these are local to you. Unless buying from a source I trust (someone you know or TB classified), I always like to be able to demo what I am buying.
In general, giggable bass rigs for small/medium venues (I am thinking thinking of a "bar band", but I imagine in a church, your volume needs are not going to be any louder than that, unless they have PA support) would be:
- 300-500 watts
- pair of 2x10s, 1x12s, or 1x15s, or a 4x10
It's a buyer's market out there, so don't be afraid to look through Craigslist and your local stores. Those are cheap prices, and I don't know condition on them.

You do realize the items you are looking at are only the padded covers for the speakers. Those are not the speakers themselves for sale. If it should turn out that I am mistaken please let me know because I DEFINATELY want in on that action
