Tennessee church sprayed
with racial graffiti slurs
77/£ ASS0C’M7?;D PRESS
CHATTANOOGA, Ibnn -
Racial slurs and “KKK” were
spray-painted on a Methodist
church in downtown Chat
tanooga over the weekend,
police said
Neither police nor parish
ioners at Hamlett Chapel
CME Church knew of any
potential suspects and said it
appeared to be a random act
of vandalism.
There was no evidence of
theft or attempts to enter the
building.
“This is the first time any
thing like this ever hap
pened,” said Marchyrel
Strickland, a member of the
church for 46 years. “Years
ago there were some break-
ins —an altar, Bible and the
PA system were stolen—but
nothing in recent years, and
nothing likp this.”
The graffiti on the door and
back wall of the church was
discovered by Strickland’s
brother Hershcel when he
arrived Sunday morning to
clean up before services.
It was painted over after
services.
The Rev. Mary Baker Hen
dricks, the church’s pastor,
said the church has received
an outpouring of support
fiom the community
“Some people still feel racial
prejudice, but to voice it likp!
this on a house of God is
offensive to everyone,” she
said.
“The support lets me know
we live in a city that does not
condone racial slurs like
this.”

October, 2005 Newsletter - Part III (Last Part)
The religious world has laughed and ridiculed me to scorn. That is alright.
I’m just glad that the Lord saved me. Go on making fun all you want to. I
praise God He elected me in Christ before the foundation of the world.
What grace just to know Him! I want to quote a scripture that is very
precious to my heart: “THEREFORE being justified by faith, we have
peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.' (Rom. 5:1) God justified
me by faith of the Son of God. One of the first results of justification is
peace with God. The pit of noise was gone when God justified me. How is it
with you? Some of my family members have accused me this way; “You
think nobody is righteous but you!” Well, the Lord washed me in His blood,
cleansing me from all my sins. Wouldn’t you rather be washed in the Blood
of Christ than going around here saying “I accepted Jesus as my Saviour"?
If you knew Christ you would. I’m going to leave you with these eternal
matters, my friends. Dear souls, see to it that your souls are saved! You are
a creature of eternity!
Your Gospel Editor and Teacher,
J.M. Little
