for This one s The United Methodist Church by Lesa Martinek As I reached the kitchen window Tuesday morning I saw flames inside the windows of my church office I turned on the alarm immediately and went to the station said Rev Bill Hurtig Hurtig discovered the fire at 545 am and by 550 am seven fire depart mens had arrived at the scene and they fought the fire into the afternoon When the firefighters arrived flames were through the roof and the pastors office and overflow rooms were well en veloped in flames News of the roof beginning to sag brought fighters out At the height of the fire flames were burning twenty five feet into the air Hopeless was the church at that time so firemen kept wa ter on the parsonage so the congregation wouldn t have to build a new parsonage along with a church George Flogge Chief Invest: gator for the Kansas Fire Mar shals Offlce determined that the fire was the work of an ar sonist Rogge also said the fire started in at least two Ioca tions and the materials from the scene were sent to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation for analysis Salvages of the fire were three stained glass windows some chairs and tables Alsoa pantry holding centennial items and things for the Boy Scout Chili Feed which was to be held that Tuesday night along with a pot of chili was saved The congregation of the United Methodist Church has learned before and is learning now and will learn again But through all of the changes and adlustments the congregation will go through all ofthe essen tial elements faith hope and love still remain FINALE Burning of Methodist Church brings community and church members closer I-lelpiul hands lent Taking rapid action, 200 of the 350 congregation members held a meeting at the high school to re-group and start new plans for the church. Decisions were made to hold worship services and Sunday school at the high school. ln a way, the school is repaying the church for their help thirty years ago when the school burned down. We may have lost a building, but we haven't lost a church, said Jim Stadler. Reality facer. Realizing the battle was lost, a firefighter trudges past the burning church.
