Very sorry to hear this news. I pray they do find the culprit.
On a side note, your new Admin needs to get rid of Holy Ghost HH. Just a suggestion. LOL!

Its a great reminder that WE are the church, not our building, not our silo of people at The Experience Community, but all of us together following Christ. God bless you all for your hearts!

I think we are going to be ok. I found out the sprinklers did not go on in the sanctuary so the water damage there is limited to water from the other area that flowed over into that area. That means none of our sound equipment or chair cushions were wet I believe. We are blessed with a lot of skilled carpenters and home builders in the church so I feel like we will be able to make repairs quickly.
I am traveling out of state and have not gotten an update today but will try and post one tomorrow. Out of town in a hotel room, in pain, and heavily medicated so can't be on here long.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
