At least twenty-four people, including child actor Rory Sykes, have died so far in California’s devastating wildfires. Sixteen more remain missing. More than twelve thousand structures have burned, including many houses of worship. One was Altadena Community Church, built in the 1940s and known for its colorful stained glass. It was destroyed last week. “It’s shocking,” said their pastor. “It’s a reminder to us all of the fragility of life.”
The congregation’s Facebook page showed images of the building engulfed in flames. But another showed parishioners singing outdoors. The caption read, “WE are the church! We can worship anywhere.”
They’re right: “The God who made the world . . . does not live in temples made by man” (Acts 17:24). His transforming presence is as close as your next prayer.
But there’s a catch. The Rest of The Story Here
