"Our church member reaches into her purse and picks up her wallet and just thinks that feels funny, feels different, which is remarkable and so but she opens it up; her cash is gone or credit cards are gone and she realizes then she's been robbed," senior pastor Larry Robertson"It is so disappointing and shocking when it happens in a church building to a senior adult widow, lady who just came to church early to pray that's hard to swallow," he continued.
