Mrs Elsie Moffett sings with the congregation at a 14-hour service in the repaired foyer of St Columba’s Church, Hornby, on Saturday. The church was destroyed by fire last November, but plans to rebuild it are advanced and a tender is expected to be let soon. The theme of the service was “God is in control, even in the midst of disaster,” and was led by 21 preachers. Some of the people taking part had arranged sponsorships to help finance the cost of the new building.
