Greetings All! We have some updates on the situation at the church.
How the Fire Started
The fire marshal and ATF stated that the fire started in the refrigerator. That's right, in the refrigerator. To be more specific, the automatic defrost unit in the freezer shorted out, which cause the wiring to overheat and catch the refrigerator on fire. Once the fire started, it apparently spread upward to the ceiling and into the second floor where it began to spread down the hallway. We praise the Lord once again that everyone is safe and that there were no injuries.
Opportunity to Help
The new fellowship hall will be cleaned starting Wednesday, October 5. Anyone willing to help in the cleanup process can meet at 1:00 PM at the church. For those who can come at a later time that afternoon, come 6:00 - 8:00 PM. We have a storage trailer to put items in after they have been cleaned. Also, there will be a short devotion time on Wednesday night.
Other News
Hart EMC is being contacted today in order to get the power situation squared away.
Of course we want to remind everyone that there is no Wednesday night service other than the short devotion that will take place along with the clean up. In addition, there will be no services held in the sanctuary in the near future. It will need to be thoroughly cleaned by professionals before it can be used in any capacity. In the meantime services will be held in the new fellowship hall.
