Police say the notes were left Tuesday night at the Iglesia Evangelica Refugio de Salvacion in Patchogue.
The investigation of the break-in at the church on Railroad Avenue comes as a national civil rights organization released a report finding that Latino immigrants in Suffolk County say they are routinely harassed.
The report from the Southern Poverty Law Center was based in part on interviews with more than 70 Latino immigrants in recent months. It was released Wednesday.
