The following is a script from a News9 broadcast

((ED))
A Tulsa church is vandalized for a second time in a week. This latest break-in forced the congregation outside for services.

-- VO --
Vandals smashed a window.. took equipment, bibles and ripped out an electrical panel... knocking out the church's air conditioning.
The small congregation met outside under a tree..
Most of the elderly congregation were told to stay home so they could stay out of the heat.
The pastor thinks its the same vandals who broke in last week..
-- WIPE SOT --
"AND IT'S OBVIOUS THERE IS NO RESPECT FOR GOD'S HOUSE, OR THEY NEVER WOULD HAVE BROKEN IN IN THE FIRST PLACE."
--ON CAM--
The church doesn't have enough money for repairs to the electrical system.. they're planning on holding next Sunday's service under the same tree.
