Please keep our brothers and sisters at St. Paul's, Conway, in your prayers. A fire broke out in the attic of their administration building at 11 a.m. today, Thursday, December 10, 2016.
"At first it appeared the whole building was on fire, because of the smoke coming out of the vents in the roof," said the Rev. Reggie Corfield, Interm Rector, "but the fire was contained and the damage was minor. Thankfully, no one was hurt and we came through relatively unscathed."
St. Paul's suffered extensive flood damage during the October flood.
"We've been through a lot," said Corfield, "But God has continually provided for us. We thank God it wasn't worse."
They expect to be out of their offices for ten days. The cause of the fire has yet to be determined. Most of the damage was done to the portico of the building, and the interior of the building suffered smoke damage.
