CHICAGO — After a fire tore through an Englewood church Friday afternoon causing “extensive loss,” according to authorities, those in the congregation still hoping to gather for in-person services Easter Sunday will have that chance.
The Antioch Missionary Baptist Church will hold worship services at Englewood’s Calahan Funeral Home, 7030 S. Halsted St., beginning at 10 a.m. Sunday with the church’s pastor, Gerald Dew, according to the church’s Facebook page. The services will also be streamed online.
Meanwhile, Chicago fire Deputy District Chief Curtis Hudson said around 11:30 a.m. Saturday, firefighters returned to the church with the department to check on “just some steam” after firefighters had already returned to the scene a few times to put out any residual flames.
