SLIDELL (AP) — Leaders of a church in a small North Texas town have a message of forgiveness for thieves who stole about $40,000 worth of property.
A sign posted Monday outside First Baptist Church of Slidell said: “To Those Who Robbed Us, We Forgive You.”
Pastor Bobby Cates said he believes there are desperate people no matter where you live, including Slidell — a town of about 175 people, located 50 miles north of Fort Worth.
