Baker's Chapel returns to church site leveled by deadly tornado

DEGONIA SPRINGS, Ind. - "We want to celebrate new life," preaches the Rev. Jerusha Franz on Easter Sunday morning to members of the Baker's Chapel United Methodist Church in the parking lot of the church. "It's about finding life from death." She told news reporters that members are committed to rebuilding, celebrating Easter this year with a renewed understanding of the holiday's message of hope and rebirth in the face of tragedy. Baker's Chapel building was leveled Nov. 6 by a tornado. The same storm claimed the lives of 20 people in a mobile home park in nearby Evansville. The congregation hopes to break ground this summer for a new building. The South Indiana Conference will be assisting the congregation in building its new facility. For more information, call 800-919-8160.
