It's a place where you would think you would be safe, but churchgoers in Madisonville had the scare of their life at the House of Hope Church on Wednesday night.
It was around 9:30 pm when police say three black males entered the church with two handguns and a shotgun.
The three made off with wallets as well as a couple of purses.

This is the real hope and change in our society....thugery, dishonesty, self serving low lifes. Pay attention to who is doing these things and protect yourself.
