Coming Down Piece By Piece: Tornado Damaged Historic Century Methodist Church
July 11, 2016
The tornado damaged 114-year old Century United Methodist Church is coming down, board by board, piece by piece. — a process that has been going for weeks.
“It’s being dismantled, not demolished,” Rev. Janet Lee told NorthEscambia.com last month. “The hope is that there is enough wood there that is good enough to use in some way when we rebuild.”
The church will be rebuilt on the same spot, right next door to the town’s Baptist church on Church Street. Church members are currently meeting in a house across the street that is owned by the church.

Since reclaimed wood is so popular now, maybe use some of it for fund raising…arts-crafts-furniture building. I believe there would be a market…
God Bless You and Keep You Safe while you do this wonderful and awesome work to restore your house of worship.
God Bless the USA.
