As you may have read in the local press, the pitstop (situated to the rear of the church and owned by IGC), was destroyed by fire last week. No-one was hurt, but everything in the building and the building itself, was completely destroyed. For the past few years, the pitstop has only been used for storage, however in the past it has been in regular usage for the youth services that IGC has provided and is a sad loss. It’s unknown whether the fire is linked to the unrest throughout London and other cities in the UK during the past week.
We’re extremely thankful to the firefighters who tackled the blaze, particularly in light of the stresses placed on the fire service in the last few days and we continue to pray for peace in our troubled times. For more information, see this article from the Edgware & Mill Hill Times.
