Anti-Christian graffiti, smashed glass and other damage left by vandals at a church in the U.S. greeted congregation members as they arrived for Worship on Sunday. The attack on St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Portland, Oregon is one of dozens of similar criminal acts against houses of worship in the city this year.

Pastor Sarah Sanderson-Doughty said the church is insured, but the congregation will have to cover the delectable.

The congregation will pray for the vandal (or vandals) at a, “candlelight service of healing and forgiveness” this weekend.
