‘It's a lot of grief' Church members mourn pastor's wife killed at NC home

LITTLETON, N.C. (WNCN) - LITTLETON, N.C. (WNCN) — A church community is in mourning the death of their beloved pastor’s wife who was killed in the couple’s North Carolina home Friday.

Dozens of people came together Sunday to pray at the church where John Alford preaches.

John Alford, who lived with his wife near Lake Gaston, has been the pastor of Sanford Memorial Baptist Church in Brodnax, Virginia for more than a decade. His wife Nancy taught Sunday school at the church.

Those who know the couple say there was not an ounce of hate in their bodies.

“They’d give you the shirt off their back,” Deacon Buck Gittman said of the couple. “Why would they be subject to such a heinous act? All they had to do was ask and they would’ve been given keys to the Mercedes and the Suburban.”

Hence "pastor" & the keys to "Mercedes" or "suburban". Think these so called Christians are missing the point on the good words intent. Don't know how any church leader could in good conscience feel they need such extravagant vehicles
