On December 31, 2010, the town of Robertsville, Missouri was hit with a tornado.  As the storm moved through, it destroyed our 100+ year old former sanctuary and tore the back off the new sanctuary.  But through it all, we were blessed.  No one was hurt in the storm even though one of our members and her two children were in part of the building that was blown away.  No one was hurt in the town.  We were put in a position to take the lead in organizing assistance efforts while figuring out what we were going to do while our buildings were repaired or replaced.  Through it all, we felt the Lord’s hand upon us.  And His hand continues to provide for us.
