Just like the green creature whose heart was two sizes too small, a grinch could not steal the sounds and spirit of Christmas from a De Soto church.
De Soto Police Chief Jeff McCreary said a break-in was reported the morning of Nov. 22 at the De Soto Community Church of God, 300 W. Mineral St.
âThe entry is believed to have occurred overnight,â McCreary said. âThere were no signs of forced entry.â
However, members of the churchâs praise band discovered most of their musical instruments and equipment missing.
âWe still had a piano, so our pianist, Mark Ferrell, provided music at that morningâs service,â said the Rev. Ron Kulp, senior pastor.
