Burned Out Congregations Find a Home for Christmas

I had the story yesterday about the church in La Crescenta, CA that burned down Wednesday night, a fire that was discovered during choir practice and quickly took the whole sanctuary. My blogger friend John lives right down the street from the fire, and worships at La Crescenta Presbyterian church, also just down the street from the burned out church. John's church has offered their facility for the two displaced congregations to meet on Christmas Eve. Read John's account here - there's more to the story than just a neighborly congregation.

One of my commenters has also offered space at Glendale Presbyterian, so hopefully these two congregations will have plenty of places to continue their services during the long rebuilding process.
