Ohio Church Collapses After Sun. Service

[Champ]

CINCINNATI - The walls of a church fell about 90 minutes after the last of Sunday's worshippers left, causing the roof to drop onto the pews and pulpit, officials said.

Pastor Carl McMullen and his family were the last to leave the Zion Hill Baptist Church at 1:40 p.m. Sunday and got the call about the collapse an hour and a half later. About 50 people had attended Sunday's service.

Fire District Chief Anson Turley said he did not see steel reinforcements within the building's cinder blocks. Members who noticed some ceiling tiles had fallen said they talked about calling the city's buildings and inspections department Monday.

"God must be telling us it's time to move," said Jerry Givens, a member for 30 years. "And that's what we'll do."

1. Praise Jeebus, it's a miracle!

Never mind that he apparently doesn't have the time or inclination to help the millions of innocent rape & murder victims every day - he made sure to hold up that roof until everyone went home! Hallelujah!
