North Bend Oregon Church Fire

Fire started before 2a.m. Sunday Morning

Hello friends

This is the first time posting to this site, and not with great news either.  We had a devastating fire last night which burned our sanctuary to the ground.  
Our local firefighters were able to save the "White House" where our daycare and church office are housed.  But, our church is no longer.  

Pretty horrible feeling to literally watch all your memories, work and money spent go up in flames, but no one was hurt.  At the end of the day, you realize they are just things, replaceable things.  
Fought the fire well past daybreak
After the initial shock, Ron and the guys were already casting new vision.  Our congregation gathered together this morning, just hours after our church home was destroyed, and we worshiped together and heard a great word from Ron on staying the course, no matter what.  This will bring even more unity to our already very united family.  

We appreciate your prayers and concern.  Wait and see, we'll come out of this tragedy stronger and more determined to fulfill God's purpose and plans for us.  
It's going to be an exciting ride!

Total loss of Auditorium and New Dining Room
Ladder Truck
They did a great job of saving the pre-school
