I have been attending Immanuel Family Church, in Islingword Road, Brighton, for the past 11 years.

It holds many memories, both good and bad. I was also married there last year so the fire is devastating news. I can't believe it has happened.

I and many others lost valuable artwork in the fire and my husband lost musical equipment.

I'm just so glad no one was in the building and that God protected his people.
