The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said Sunday that it had found the 13 members of a "cult-like" church in Jackie Robinson Park east of Palmdale.

All were alive and well, according to the department.

A massive search for the members began Saturday after family members contacted authorities, saying they feared the group was planning a mass suicide.

The last time the group had been seen was when a deputy reported seeing them while on patrol at Knight High School in Palmdale around 3 a.m. Saturday. That sighting was before the group had been reported missing, according to Sheriff's Capt. Mike Parker.

1. Were they told that "Obama's gunna kill us all"?

They were found praying in a park, according to one article I read.

2. I'm glad they're okay. You know it's scary times when suicide quickly comes to mind.

3. But they still need mental health treatment.
