## Resource

A devastating fire tore through St. Andrew’s Church in Leicester, requiring nine fire engines and 60 firefighters to extinguish the blaze that destroyed much of the 150-year-old roof. Though the main structure suffered heavy damage, Sunday services will continue thanks to an undamaged church hall — now needing volunteers for cleanup. The community, shaken but resilient, is honoring a recently deceased warden whose coffin was carefully rescued by firefighters. Safety measures include closing the car park and erecting fencing as debris still falls. A fundraiser has been launched to cover repairs, and church leaders are rallying for support and prayers as they vow to rebuild — both physically and spiritually — with faith stronger than fire.
