HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A Hendersonville church was forced to call off Sunday services after elders discovered extensive vandalism on Friday.
Leaders of the Luna Lane Church of Christ told News 2 a deacon’s wife discovered the front door open Friday, Feb. 2 around 1 p.m. They believe the vandalism took place sometime that morning or the day before.
Church elders said nearly everything that wasn’t bolted down was flipped over, their pews were covered with fire extinguishing powder, and TVs were ripped off the walls and smashed.

“We are a loving church, we don’t have a lot to offer, but we do have a lot of love and love will cover a lot of stuff,” said Danny Parrish, a church elder who’s been a member at the Luna Lane Church since 1976. “If it was a crime, they would have stole something, but they didn’t steal anything. They just destroyed it. For why, I don’t know.”
