A potentially deadly situation was averted at Cedar Street Mennonite Church in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, when attendees restrained a man who allegedly brandished a knife and attempted to set a fire during a church dinner on July 22. Thanks to Keith Graves, ChristianWarriorTraining.com for sharing this info with subscribers.

The suspect, age 38, is facing charges including attempted arson, terroristic threats, and assault after reportedly threatening a woman, stabbing a wall, and trying to ignite a chair cushion in a dining room filled with children, elderly, and disabled individuals. Quick action by churchgoers prevented a fire and further harm, injury, or any deaths.
