Church will be unveiling their plans for rebuild- ing their church this Saturday, August 13, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the church site, 4236 NE 8th Avenue. An electrical fire set the church ablaze in Feb- ruary of last year, causing church services to relocate to the Maranatha Church on Northeast 12th until further notice. Months of fundraising have finally af- forded the church to rebuild and the event Saturday will be celebrating that. First Lady Nancy Hales, Rep. Lew Frederick and Commissioner Nick Fish are all slat- ed to attend the ceremony, where they will be turning dirt and displaying the church’s architectural plans. A communi- ty block party with food and refreshments will be held following the event from noon to 3 p.m. P ortland f ire & r esCue Firefighters did what they could to quell the fire that devastated the Allen Temple C.M.E.
