The Great Flood of 2010

Jenny went into the church today around 4 pm to find that a pipe had broken in the exterior wall of one of the third floor bathrooms. It was a deluge. No matter how much water you’re thinking there was on the main floor and in the basement, you’re not thinking of enough. When I arrived, there was an inch of standing water in the back hallway of the main floor, water in the parlor and choir room, more water in the two basement classrooms, the furnace room, the food pantry, and the back hallway of the basement, and surprisingly little water on the third floor. Nonetheless, the building is ready for worship tomorrow. Jenny and I want to thank (in alphabetical order) Jan Hester, John Hester, Dave Larimore, Daniel Lee, Pat McCoy, Burton Walker, and Bob Whitson for all their help.
