Pastor Hopes Vandalized Church Door Will be Fixed by Sunday

The Rev. Martin Milne of Zion's Lutheran says the church is waiting to hear back from its insurance company about fixing the damaged glass door.

It will be one week ago tomorrow that someone threw an empty glass bottle at the front door of in Upper Milford Township. The church pastor, the Rev. Martin Milne, says he is hoping that the damaged glass door can be repaired in time for services on Sunday.

The glass company removed the broken glass pane yesterday and Milne says the church is waiting to hear back from its insurance company in order to move forward with the repair.

"It's unfortunate that even the church is a target for vandalism. There just doesn't seem to be anything that people will not vandalize," Milne says.

Citing a state police report, Lehigh Valley Live says an empty glass bottle shattered a pane of glass in the church's front door sometime between 9 p.m. Friday and 8:45 a.m. Saturday. 

Police ask anyone with information about the incident to call 610-395-1438.
