Fire

We don't usually make it to Sunday school. Church is a 45 minute drive and our family doesn't wake until 9am. No time to get everyone ready and there on time. So we go on Sunday nights and Wednesday nights if no one is sick. We have missed almost 2 weeks of church due to sickness in the kids.

Imagine my surprise when mom calls to tell me that we aren't having church tonight. She said that the cookshack/fellowship hall of our church was burned to the ground. She said it was still smoldering when she got there. (So thankful it wasn't attached to the church.) The firemen suggested removing all of our belongings from the church just in case it was arson and they arsonist come back. All that they left were the benches, piano, and pulpit. We cannot have church until the firemen deem it safe for the gas and electric to be hooked back to the church. Really not sure if we'll get to have church there again.

It's kind of sad to me. I have went there from birth. And it's a small country church with 13 members at the most. But the Bible says, where two or three are gathered... God has met with us many times in that little building.

The good news is that we do have a new church building. It does need work. It was a church given to us that my aunt and uncle paid to have moved. It has been moved. But now it needs work to get it into working order. It looks as if we'll have to rush a bit to get at least a small area ready for us to worship. God is in control. We are asking for his direction in what we need to do.
