Sometimes we need the encouragement of His hand in the middle of the mess-
We experienced a fire years ago at Prince of Peace in Springfield, VA. and know that others of you have as well….

From Facebook of Stephanie Greig- Pastor Nyck's wife:
The staff and people of Trinity Lutheran are so thankful for the fire crews and everyone who came to our assistance at church last night!! The fire outside of the main sanctuary doors in the narthex destroyed much of the narthex. We are so thankful that the fire doors functioned & closed, protecting the office wing. Today will be about assessing the smoke & water damage to the sanctuary, Bruening Hall & classrooms underneath, the preschool wing and Michael's office. Thank you to my family, church family and friends who supported everyone with prayer last night!
Heavenly Father, In this new Easter season of renewal, we boldly pray for you to bring peace to this community and that out of the fire and ashes (and smoke) you will bless this church and the people gathered here in Your Name. Amen.
