Words of worship resonated through Crossroads Fellowship Church on Millbrook Road Sunday. “It’s really good to be back with your fellow believers,” said member Charee Dennis. Two weeks ago, they didn’t know if that would happen. The building caught fire late one Friday night. “We stood in the parking lot for about five hours. The Raleigh Fire Department, Raleigh Police Department [and] Wake County EMS were absolutely tremendous. They saved this building,” said executive pastor David Howell. Howell said the fire sparked where their Christmas supplies are stored. Smoke and water damage shut down much of the building. “I’m so thankful no one was here, no one was hurt and it was just a minor area,” said community chaplain Ginny Bradshaw. Sunday was the first day that church goers said the building’s been back to normal.
