Overnight fire destroys Eastford church

The fire destroyed the Congregational Church of Eastford around 3:30 a.m.

EASTFORD, Conn. — Fire destroyed a church in Eastford early Sunday morning. 

Firefighters called in multiple alarms as they fought the flames at the Congregational Church of Eastford. The fire was initially called in at 3:25 a.m. 

Pictures posted by the Woodstock Volunteer Fire Department show the church fully involved. 

In a post on Facebook, Rev. Michael Moran said, "Hello CCE family.  The church burned down early this morning.  I only found out about 20 minutes ago, so no time to react yet other than to say that God is good, He is doing something good, and the church is not a building - it is all of us - His precious saints.  

Please be in prayer - and standby for a plan as to how we gather later today."
