Dear God. Keep us posted.

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

Dan, are you certain Lighthouse is gone? They said on the news that it was hit, but they haven't said anything about it being destroyed.

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

Just talked to my cousin...they were in there when it hit.....the Sanctuary is GONE!!!!
The only part standing is the gym to the left.......thank God they were in the Gym.

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

Just talked to Tracy...sanctuary is GONE....as in flat.

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

Wow Dan. That is sad. God cover the Cupples too!

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

They are getting ready to build a 1,200 seat sanctuary...this is not exactly how they wanted to do it...but now it can.... WOW

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

Dear Lord, please help your children and keep them safe. In Jesus name, Amen.

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

Amen to that brother. God is good all the time!

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

I guess they will go back to having church in the gym temporarily. Isn't that what they did when they first built?

I really hate it; that church is so pretty! Glad everyone is safe.

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

What about Pastor Wade Hall and his church?

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

Dont know.

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

I have not heard.

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

My goodness.

That was severe!

More storms on the way, will they be as severe?

Glad everyone is okay!

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

Is this the church Donald Lance now pastors?

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

Yes.

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

Isn't this Ron Brown's Church?

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

I don't think so. I think it is the church Bro. P. Miller used to pastor.

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

No, Bro. It is indeed where Ron Brown was. Bro. Miller used to pastor Calvary.

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

WOW! I hate this.

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

Yes...

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

Just talked to Bro. Ron Brown.....Dist Super of Tn....he was our Pastor at Lighthouse when we lived there....
He was quite emotional.....so much sacrifice went into building that church.....
You walk in from the offices...open the platform door and all you see is sky.....

Donald Lance, Jr.

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

My cousin is going to take pics in the morning....

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

Yes...see him sitting on the left side of the platform?

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

Yes...He wouldn't remember me, but I remember him when he was just a young boy. I was just emphasizing that he was "JR" - not "SR"...

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

wmcstations.com just said another line of storms is bearing down on jackson... as if they don't already have enough going on...

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

We need to keep praying for Jackson and the other areas in the path of the storm.

Psalm 91

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.


2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

Does anyone know if Sherri is okay ???

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

Mark at last post by her she seemed to be fine.. we are still praying for everyones safety there... I am also praying there was no damage to their church... if I am correct didnt they just start a work in Jackson also?

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

I meant to ask if sherr's church was okay?(damage). she didn't say either way. maybe she hadn't checked???

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

Sherri and their church is okay.

Damage very close to them though.

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

My husband and I are praying for all of you affected by these storms...having been in a very destructive tornado myself- I was in the basement of the church building when it was hit- I understand how hard this can be.

God bless these communities as they rebuild...

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

We are praying for our brothers and sisters there in TN.

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

I too am praying for all our friends in the damaged areas. My home was hit by a tornado several years ago. It is a very frightening thing. It took years for me not to panic when bad weather came our way. God is able to carry you through and supply your needs.

Re: TN Tornado..Tragic loss for UPC
 

Praying. Donald Lance jr is my son's good friend. I hate to hear that. We will be praying for them. Glad Sherri and their group is safe.
We just got in Sao paulo brazil but only leave for the northeast at 11 tonight...will have the day to pray much.
