Back in their Worship Home Lucknow Community Christian Reformed Church Valerie Gillies Editor, Lucknow Sentinel Chair of the Church Board of the Lucknow Community Christian Reformed Church Peter Brink reports that the congregation was very happy to be back worshipping in their own church on Sunday, January 11, 2015. Brink reports "the congregation has a coming back feeling." Following a fire at the front of the sanctuary on August 25, 2014 which began due to electronic equipment, there had to be extensive renova- tion and restoration work to return the building to a usa- ble state. The whole place, upstairs and down, has been repainted and restored. Brink reported on January 18 that the insurance had treated them well. "There are still some things that need to be finalized, but we are working away." The Board is thankful to the members who worked along with the restoration and insurance companies to get things ready for service once more. The congregation is really appreciative of the support from the commu- nity. They would like to particularly thank the Luc - know churches who shared their space with worship services being held in the Presbyterian Church while meetings and programs were held in the United and St. Peter's Anglican churches.
