This morning as early as 5:30, our church temple keeper came to our house and told us that some of our church equipment is already gone. Someone forcibly took it from our church. We are shocked because those are valuable things we use in church and its expensive. Anyway, it's all gone, and there is no way we can retrieve it. I just thank the Lord because they were not able to get some of the equipment there and most of all no one was hurt... But im really sad.

That is terrible. I belong to an archery club that had a break in a few years ago. I had to call the police and meet them at the club and then go to the station to retrieve belongings and also had to attend a meeting with the teenager that did it. That was not a comfortable meeting at all! So I know how you feel. Your story does remind me of a story about a well known Australian band who got their career started by breaking into a church and stealing their musical equipment. They were teenagers at the time and could not afford good equipment so they stole it! I know this as my brother in law was in the band at the time.

Really?wow.. That's a nice story. Anyway,we are not mad at all we already forgave them... It's good that you were able to get what they stole from your group. Because now, we are hopeless to find who did this. But above all we still thank the Lord for we are safe no one was hurt and reminding us that those had been taken will be replace by new things :) that's the hope we have now. We love our music ministry in the church and i know, we will be greatly blessed! :) good day! :)

So sorry that your church equipment was stolen. People have no morals these days. I am quite certain that those thieves will get their just rewards for the rotten deed they have done. I hope your church is able to raise enough money to replace the equipment.

It's sad to know that in the middle of disasters and calamities, there will still be people who have the heart and stomach to take advantage of the situation for their own benefit. It's bad enough that they cannot or wouldn't do something to help some people, they should have just stayed away if they cannot do something to help. But still... Anyway, I do believe that people who live in the dark will never get out of it.

He is a robber but not taught by Bible Jesus Christ Teaching. Try to make persons by Jesus Christ teachings.

Children are not being taught to respect other people or other people's things. Some have no respect for the house of God no matter what the label over the door. They should be caught and hung by their thumbs. I hope the police make a real effort to catch them.

I am surprised that there are people who have the guts to steal in the Church! I'm not saying that it is okay to steal elsewhere but those people don't have conscience. I've heard in the news a couple of years ago, there are some churches who are being robbed with altar elements like communion cups, candle holder even statues of saints. How can they (robbers) sleep at night?

Those thieves. Don't worry if justice cannot be put on them by the police, karma will. What goes around comes around.
