From Alabama-Still rebuilding its sanctuary a year after a Christmas Day tornado ripped through Mobile, Trinity Episcopal Church is inviting midtown residents to mark the storm’s anniversary at Christmas Eve services in the Parish Hall.
The church, located at 1900 Dauphin St., will hold two Christmas Eve worship services: one at 5:30 p.m. and a second at 10:30 p.m., which will be preceded by Christmas carols at 10.
"We will mark the anniversary of the storm and give thanks for our community that pulled together in the days and months following the tornado,” said Rev. Bailey Norman, who had been rector only about three months when the tornado hit. “Things definitely look better today than they did just after the storm.”
The church’s sanctuary was hardest hit and is largely being rebuilt. The Parish Hall was also damaged, and has undergone numerous repairs, including a new roof and front wall. After the storm, the congregation worshipped with fellow believers at All Saints Episcopal Church nearby until the Parish Hall could be used.
