Church roof succumbs to snow, tree limb
This weekend's major weather maker was a snow storm that left Washington, D.C., bedraggled under 32 inches of the white stuff.
Among those stung by the storm was Joshua Temple Church in northeast Washington, whose congregants were not in the building when its roof collapsed under snow and a falling tree limb, Constance Rowe, the pastor's spouse, told The Washington Post.
She said the congregation will pray at 1 p.m. Sunday at the church site and "get about the business of trying to rebuild."The ministry is resilient, she said. "We don't plan to leave the city," said Rowe, although the ministry will need to find a temporary location. "This is where our roots are planted."
"We're looking for better days ahead," she added. "God is good. We're not discouraged."
