It was a sad day when a raging fire gutted the University Christian Church here in Cincinnati a few years ago. It is the church where our son Craig and his family attend. The congregation is made up largely of college students since it is located across the street from the University of Cincinnati campus.
Most everything was consumed by the fire; however, this Bible was only scorched. It is now on display in the entry hallway. It served as a reminder that all is not lost. Take heart; God is STILL in control.
What the worshippers did not know was the surprise hidden under the surface. When the old carpet was burned off, they found a beautiful hardwood floor layed on the diagonal. All it needed was a good sanding.
Pastor Troy Jackson challenged each person to buy a chair for themselves and one for a friend. Everyone pitched in until the floor was covered with contemporary seating. This arrangement is movable which provides creative seating for various occasions.
