Gene Knecht stood outside St. Francis Episcopal Church, greeting church goers with a handshake and a program as they entered the building.
Inside, Erik Pittman sat at his organ, where he sent a string of church hymns in the air as people chatted amongst themselves and found their seats.
The sanctuary started filling up around 9:30 a.m., about half an hour before the scheduled start of service. When 10 a.m. struck, chairs had to be added as more and more people kept walking through the two stained doors in front.
This wasn’t just another Sunday at St. Francis Episcopal Church.
No, this was the church’s first service on its main campus since the Great Flood of 2016, and, boy, did it feel good to be back.
