CINCINNATI (AP) - The walls of a church fell about 90 minutes after the last of Sunday's worshippers left, causing the roof to drop onto the pews and pulpit, officials said.

Pastor Carl McMullen and his family were the last to leave the Zion Hill Baptist Church at 1:40 p.m. Sunday and got the call about the collapse an hour and a half later. About 50 people had attended Sunday's service.

``Lord, have mercy - can you believe it?'' said the pastor's wife, Debra McMullen. ``It's just a blessing that no one was inside.''

The church sometimes has afternoon services and lunch, but not on Sunday.
