In the early morning hours of December 24, 2011, our church burned to the ground. We were on vacation in Nashville, but we received some early phone messages that it was burning.
I got on my computer to see pictures and videos of the devastation. It was horrible! It was sad! It upset the whole town! This was the old church.
After the fire. So sad!
The Fire.
The Groundbreaking for the new church last spring. It was pouring rain!
God has a plan for everyone and everything. This is the new church in which we are hoping to move into by Easter.
We are all excited to move into the new building. I can't wait to see it all! Sunday School classes have been being held all over town. At least we had the old gym that was refurbished to use for a sanctuary in the mean time.
Thanks for looking!

So sorry that you lost your old building, but isn't it fantastic to see what God can do with the ashes, both literal and figurative? He always makes a way. :)
What a beautiful new building you have! The stained glass window is stunning. When they were building a local church, before they laid the carpet the members went in and covered the floor with scriptures. They had photos of them with "Sharpies" in hand on their knees writing their favorite scriptures....kind of a neat idea.
Oh Shirley, it's beautiful. God is good. All in God's plan.
I so hope you can move in by Easter!!!
