By Kalinda Kindle: ‘It’s like the Grinch stole Christmas,’ gifts and electronics from Faith Lutheran Church were stolen
The church’s Pastor Christoper Ewings said this isn’t the first time a theft has happened.

“On four different occasions this summer we had people come into our church and steal gas from our van and from our personal vehicles,” Pastor Ewings.

Pastor Ewings said this just shows there is more work to be done.

“It gives us more motivation for us to get out there and share the good news of Jesus with our community,” Pastor Ewings said.
