From Illinois-The Christ Episcopal Church in Ottawa is gearing up to hold services once again after a fire led to a 16-month closure.
Volunteers and church members quickly hustled through the church, 113 E. Lafayette St., Tuesday morning while prepping for Saturday’s open house.
Vestry member Angie Miller walked around while placing hymnals and prayer books in the pockets on the back of pews while other volunteers were setting up the holy water receptacle near the church’s entrance. The church’s organ was scheduled to be tuned up on Wednesday in anticipation of returning guests.
Warden Mary Grzywa was assisting with the final pieces of the restoration but paused to speak with The Times and take in the work.
