A 150 year old church is going to be made of wood.
Very dry, old wood.
I’ll bet it went up in seconds.
Hmm. Lightning 15 miles away from Fenway Park where the world series is playing out as we speak.
Oliver Goldsmith would like to know if the Vicar was hurt?
God not happy with them?
This was a truly beautiful building and its loss must break the hearts of the congregants. This church group seems like they are really good people. This message was on their Home Page tonight:
We are grateful to God and to you
While we lost our historic building from a lightning strike this week, we praise Jesus that our church community was kept safe. A very big thank you to the many firefighters who did their jobs with excellence, and to the outpouring of support from the community.
We know that we serve a God who specializes in restoring brokenness and who can bring beauty even from ashes. So we move into the future with trust, hope, and gratitude.
