Scott Harvey, KETR-Radio:

The Paris News is reporting the destruction of the Family Life Center at Blossom Church of God in Lamar County. The fire broke out before noon Thursday.

Despite the damage, assistance from dozens of volunteer firefighters helped save the church sanctuary. Firefighter Tyler Browning tells the paper crews cut a hole in the roof in the corridor to keep it from reaching the sanctuary.
