Parishioners at a Virginia church were left out in the cold when thieves stole two heat pumps connected to the building.
Pastor Archie Timmons Jr. told WVEC-TV that the heat pumps were stolen Thursday from the Greater Virginia-Carolina Temple Church of God in Christ in Suffolk.
Timmons’ wife, Laura Timmons, says she’s contacted the church’s insurance company about the losses.
Sunday services at the 100-member church were moved to a nearby fellowship hall where there’s a gas heater.
A call to the church went unanswered Sunday night.
