Pastor Bruce Smith of Central Congregational Church says someone used a crow bar to pry open a side door and rifle through the church.
He's asking his congregation to say a prayer for those responsible.
"We're not angry, we're not upset, we know that something terrible must have driven someone to do something like this so our feeling is compassion," he said.
