Not What I expected To See Going To Church Today

When we were driving to Church today we were surprised to be confronted by a blocked off street by RCMP cruisers & an apartment block across from the Church gone up in flames.

The Apartment Complex is at 1033 St Georges & we rent the Church Hall at 1044 St Georges right across the street!
I have set in the vestibule praying as I looked across at the building.
We had no one attending from that building but we have talked to some of the residents.
The fire started at 10 PM Friday & the news report below was from last night.

One is dead, & the rest are homeless.

Below is a pic I took from our Church foyer.



Ironically, I spoke on suffering.



Please pray for the survivors.

Sounds like an opportunity to be the body of Christ and reach out to the families in whatever manner the church might be able.

A lot of people came by the front of the Church & these apartments were Strata properties & I met some of the owners of the suites.

Fantastic.

Yes sir... this is, indeed, a tragedy... but the Lord could really use the situation to allow for ministry into peoples lives.
