I hope that you can rebuild the church and use as much of the 100 year old church that you are able to do. Awhile ago, I was very fortunate to see this church (on the outside) and thought it was one of the prettiest and most serene of any churches I have ever seen or have attended. I hope that I will be able to see reconstructed church in time. My prayers and thoughts are with Rev. Janet Lee and the congregation.

Salvaging what remains and rebuilding a fine church similar to the one damaged with God's help will keep the church going for another 100+ years.

The historic district has been designated as such and will qualify. It is valuable and worth being preserved. I am no expert at all but read that the building codes can be designated as rehab and therefore not subject to modern standards. So sorry for your loss. I just hope for the best for all in the recovery. The journey of 1000 miles begins with one step. Please contact the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Take out all the "sharp objects". Spray interior with a peel off polyurethane plastic of some kind. Fill church with helium from local company that produces it. Church lifts just enough to reposition it onto foundation. Okay a wild thought…………………

I sure hope they can salvage that beautiful wood and use it in the construction of a new church? Or sold and the money used toward helping the church.
