Oh no! When my sister lived in Robinson that was her Church. Back then her minister was named Jud, if I remember correctly. because that was many years ago. I attended there with her when I was a kid. Prayers for all involved.

My parents and older sister retell over and over about the year they drove home from Decatur on Christmas Eve and a small country church was on fire. Heartbreaking- many prayers to the Robinson congregation.

Yikes, Libby! Imagine those flames against the sky…wild sight for sure.
Know that Robinson’s current pastor, Rev. Tiffany Black, is great. Nonetheless, cannot imagine what this must be like for all involved.
