"The church is not about a building, it’s about the people," Humphrey said. "There’s nothing special about a building, the special part is the people in it."

Knowing you and your family, Jem , I agree with Mr. Humphrey. Special, indeed.

Prayers up.

Thank you. The good news is that, apparently, the sanctuary was spared. When people entered the building on Sunday, the pews were there, the chandeliers were untouched and the walls were even still white (actually a very light blue-gray). There was a metal under-roof thingee above the ceiling separating the sanctuary from the attic. That was the mechanism by which God spared the sanctuary. The church office, library and pastor’s studies are all lost, however.
