The churches are supporting families with physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, said the news report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fire completely destroyed \u201c45 homes, displacing 50 families and leaving 100 men, women, and children with only the clothes on their backs,\u201d said the article. \u201cThough four residents and two first responders were injured, thanks to the heroic effort of neighbors, the North Coventry firefighters and police department, everyone survived. The immediate and subsequent outpouring of support from the entire community has helped to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of all who lost their home.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read the full article at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/chescotimes.com\/?p=34966\">https:\/\/chescotimes.com\/?p=34966<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/09\/Coventry-Church-of-the-Brethren-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/09\/Coventry-Church-of-the-Brethren-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/09\/Coventry-Church-of-the-Brethren-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/09\/Coventry-Church-of-the-Brethren-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/09\/Coventry-Church-of-the-Brethren-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/09\/Coventry-Church-of-the-Brethren-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/09\/Coventry-Church-of-the-Brethren.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Coventry Church of the Brethren <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Story from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/\">Newsline<\/a>.
