Sunday services to proceed after fire strikes Solid Rock Church
PINSON, Ala. (Trussville Tribune) — Pastor Larry Ragland of Solid Rock Church in Pinson took to social media even as firefighters from the Center Point Fire Department battled a blaze in the church building to explain the situation on Saturday night.
Ragland said he was notified of the fire by an alarm company. The call, he said, came after power outages due to a storm at his home and the church.
The Center Point Fire Department notified the public of a fire in the 5000 block of Pinson Valley Parkway at about 9 p.m.

Ragland said in a later post that the fire did not reach the sanctuary, but the gym and administrative offices wing had sustained significant damage and smoke damage was extensive.
While the cause of the fire is still uncertain, as is the condition of the structure, the pastor was not uncertain about Sunday services. They will proceed as scheduled.
Ragland said special services to celebrate the Day of the Pentecost were already planned. The title of today's sermon? The Burning Ones. Services begin at 10 a.m. and will be streamed live on the church's Facebook page and on YouTube.
