Heinrich Schutz - 'Kyrie, Gott Vater in Ewigkeit'
For those of you who are aware that my church, Heritage Lutheran, has suffered severe winter damage, the good news is that we might be able to worship on Sunday in our own building.

Sunday services at 1 PM
Pastor announces that this Sunday's service will be at 1 PM at a site near Heritage. Many churches have offered the use of their buildings for us and that is gratifying. Work proceeds. I would think that we might be able to use the sanctuary some time soon.
Church Mutual has coughed up seventy-five grand to keep the operation going.
Thank the Lord for all his benefits and for the prompt receipt of insurance settlement cash.

Sunday After Roof Collapse
The St. Paul Pioneer Press is reporting that Sunday Services will be held at 10:00 AM in the church parking lot. Heritage Lutheran Church, located in Apple Valley MN, suffered a roof collapse on Friday morning, February 4th. This occurrence has been widely reported in the local media.
Good News re Church Roof Collapse
Pastor Anderson reports:
Good afternoon friends and members of Heritage:
I thought I better provide some kind of update. I realize we have been
splashed all over the news, and not all of it is accurate or helpful.
The damage to the facility appears to be isolated to the
gym/multi-purpose room. The roof collapsed and blew out the northern
wall. The southern wall is intact. The rest of the building, including
entry way, new kitchen, bathrooms, school classrooms, sanctuary are all
intact and structurally unharmed. All portions of the facility suffered
water damage from broken pipes involved in the collapse.
As of 2:00 Friday afternoon, the electrical service has been restored,
along with heat and gas. Clean up, by a contractor provided through
Church Mutual Insurance, will begin work tomorrow. It is estimated that
we can be back in the facility (minus the gym!) in about a week.
We have excellent coverage through Church Mutual Insurance. Our policy
provides for complete replacement of the downed building, together with
replacement of all damaged furnishings. Insurance will also cover clean
up costs. At this time it is best that we let the professionals handle
the clean up and repair. No member or volunteer help is needed at this
time.
We will have to decide what to do for this Sunday, and where we might
operate out school for the coming week.
Stay tuned for more info!

Winter Takes A Toll
Received this alarming e-mail in the middle of the night from Pastor Anderson. We have been members of Heritage since last September. Heritage Lutheran Church is in Apple Valley MN.
At about 12:45 this morning Heritage suffered a major disaster. The
roof of the new gym collapsed, taking with it the north wall of the new
structure. As a result of the collapse, the fire sprinkler system
engaged, flooding the gym area. The sprinklers did not go off in the
sanctuary, classrooms, or other areas of the church. However, water
from the gym has flooded the floors in adjacent areas, including the
sanctuary.
At this time the Apple Valley Fire chief has declared the entire
building off-limits. No one should enter the building for any reason
without authorization. Power, gas, and water have been cut.
Heritage school and the church office are closed for Friday and all
other activities are canceled until further notice. At this point I do
not know what we will do for Sunday.
By the grace and mercy of God, no one was present in the building and no
one has been injured. Please include Heritage in your prayers this
morning.

The Descent Into Hell
The lesson in yesterday's Bible Class was the Descent Into Hell. Halfway through the class one man said that he could understand the point. He could relate to the descent into hell. He had traveled from St. Paul to Lambeau Field for a Vikings-Packers game and that was a descent into hell.
