Watford: deliberate fire
Tom Forryan
A large fire badly damaged the floor and
caused
smoke damage
throughout
the
inside of Derby Road Baptist Church,
Watford, on February 1.
A break-in was followed by what appears
to be a fire started deliberately, causing damage to the church hall, which was laid out
for a wedding the following day. The fire
was lit in the central area of the church,
burning a hole in the floor construction as
well as a destroying a good number of chairs.
The area affected was extensive, although
the church hall and kitchen largely escaped
the flames. The exterior of the building is
unaffected, and remains structurally sound,
but
the
interior wooden
floor has burnt
through badly.
A living hope
Tom Forryan
It must be a nightmare of a job to be Prime Minister. Everybody expects you to fix everything.
Apparently, Gordon Brown recently received a letter from an 11-year old girl, telling him she was worried that she might not get work when she left school. His answer was like this: you are 11 years old, so try not to worry too much. Forget about the future and enjoy your life. But, of course, the problem is we can’t help thinking about the future. I can enjoy my life now but what about tomorrow — where is it all going? Peter says to his readers, when you believed in Jesus Christ and the resurrection, living hope came into your life.
