A joint United Reformed and Methodist church in Sheerness on the Isle of Sheppey temporarily suspends its Sunday service after concerns about damage to the building. According to reporting, youths with catapults are blamed for allegedly firing ball bearings through or at the church’s windows while aiming for pigeons. People at the church reportedly feared that glass was repeatedly coming loose and falling, described as “continually showering down” onto those inside. The service is moved to a nearby café rather than taking place in the church itself, as glass safety concerns remain. The incident is presented as a local disruption affecting worship at the church during scheduled services. No additional details about injuries, the extent of the window damage, or any police response are included in the provided accounts. The reports focus on the need to relocate due to ongoing safety worries from falling glass and the alleged use of catapults by youths.
