HOLY ROLLER—Rockdale traffic came to a standstill on Thursday afternoon about 2 p.m. when a church came through town on its way to a new location. The pews were still inside as it rolled down Cameron Avenue on the back of an 18-wheeler. Luckily this little church was short enough to get under the traffic lights with ease.
