Carol Carpenter has filed a lawsuit against Christway Church and First Baptist Church of Godrey, Illinois, after she slipped and fell outside the church following services. According to her lawsuit, she slipped on ice that had been hidden underneath a layer of snow while leaving church services on December 27, 2009. The fall caused permanent injuries to her left ankle and left shoulder. Carpenter underwent three surgeries to repair her injuries.

Carpenter sued the church for negligently designing the parking lot in a manner that allowed ice to accumulate. The lawsuit also accused the church of failing to use proper drainage for the parking lot and failing to remove snow and ice in a timely manner. The case was settled on April 22 with both parties stipulating to a dismissal with prejudice, meaning Carpenter will not be able to bring another lawsuit under the same merits.
