g in horrible damage.
Thank God no one was in the Sanctuary and that this did not happen during a worship service. There is substantial damage to the ceiling, pews, lights, pipe organ, grand piano, furniture in the balcony, and on and on.
THANK YOU to all who have reached out and offered to aid in the clean up and restoration process. As a result of the hazards created by the collapse, repairs and reconstruction will all be carried out by professionals in the months ahead.
Due to the outpouring of community support and inquiries about donations we have created this fundraiser to help offset the costs of repair and restoration of our beautiful 150 year old Sanctuary. With help, we will restore this historic House of God to its former glory so it can continue to be a haven for generations of future Christians just as it has been since for the last 150 years.
This has been an obvious and vivid reminder that human buildings—even a sacred Sanctuary—are temporary, decay and crumble. Our only eternal, unchanging treasure is our Savior, Jesus Christ, Who is the same yesterday and today and forever (Hebrew 13:8).
Please PRAY that God guides and provides as we move forward in faith during the months ahead to repair and rebuild God’s House of Worship at Immanuel.
