| Fire Damages the Ark |

 BCY NewsPenticton First Baptist Church and The Ark Youth Centre suffered a fire and smoke damage Thursday, April 14th. We give thanks that no one was hurt and that the fire damage was contained to the kitchen. The Ark Youth Centre is located in the basement of the church. Although the fire didn’t spread, there was extensive smoke damage throughout the rest of the building. A restoration crew got to work immediately to clean the church sanctuary, which was ready for Sunday services. The youth centre itself cannot be used until the damage is repaired. At this time, the cost of damages has not yet been assessed. The Ark had only recently re-opened after suffering extensive water damage almost exactly a year ago. Please pray that the Ark will re-open again soon once renovations are complete and that God will work through this experience in the lives of the youth. Please pray that the need to clean and repair the building one more will be used in some way to open the lives of youth and everyone involved to God’s work in our lives. |
