Terrible

I check the local news before heading out to set up church this morning and find out that more than one other local church was on fire last night. One church, The Memorial Baptist Church, sounds like it sustained a lot of damage and was a 3 or four alarm fire and there were at least two others that had similar problems that the fire department was able to put out with minimal damage, while a few more were broken into.

If we're going to be a church that connects with people who don't like church, we've got our work cut out for us....but we don't change hearts...God does. My prayer is that whoever did this (I'm making an assumption, but it seems well founded since it's so far beyond the scope of coincidence) my prayer is that the people of Christ would love with actions the people of this area and save our words for people who ask why we're doing what we do.
