Minister 'wings it' after sermon stolen       Send a link to a friend

[September 19, 2007]  SAN BENITO, Texas (AP) -- A minister in South Texas arrived at church and discovered thieves had escaped with $15 in petty cash, a set of keys and her sermon.

The Rev. Dori Zubizarreta said she had to "wing it" for worshippers after the Sept. 1 robbery at All Saints Episcopal Church in San Benito.

Zubizarreta arrived at church to find the lights and phone cut off, the offices in disarray, and a computer packed in a kitchen trash can as though "ready to go."

She said she thought she surprised the robbers, who apparently fled through an office window.

Damage repair, including cleaning and a new alarm service, totaled about $1,000.

As for the sermon?

The minister thinks it ended up in the trash somewhere.
