Du Quoin church eyes pavilion for new start after fire
Congregation plans to move services to a pavilion and enclose it with sheet metal after a fire. Sam Macaluso, a longtime member, hailed the effort and noted more than 350 dollars found in a desk drawer along with the preacher's notes and Bible. A charred wooden box tied them to the old church's building fund. A special offering was held to start rebuilding, with cleanup to begin immediately and a new church eyeing six months to a year for completion.
