The man driving the car, a Saturn, was not hurt, but the impact broke a gas meter, allowing natural gas to leak into the building, Cain said.
Firefighters shut off the gas, and DTE came to the church to make repairs.
Cain said there was a gaping hole in the building.

If something bad happens to a place of worship of a different faith, it's a sign from God. If it happens to a place of worship of one's own faith, it's an attack of the devil.

The question remains, what was the church doing on the slippery street? Kids, let this be a lesson, do not operate your churches in inclement conditions and never leave your church running unattended.

Please do not praise while your vehicle is in motion. Keep both hands on your church at all times.

I'm a "true believer" that you need to equip your church with snow tires or at least four-season radials this time of year.
