Texas church is painted white and empty chairs are placed where each of the 26 victims were sitting as it opens for the first time since the massacre

    The temporary memorial opened on Sunday inside the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs
    It came exactly a week after a gunman killed 26 worshipers in the worst mass shooting in Texas' history
    The inside of the church has been transformed with its walls, floor and pulpit painted completely white
    Broken windows and ceiling tiles have been replaced, bullet holes filled and church pews removed
    All that remains is 26 empty white chairs that have each been inscribed in gold with the name of the victims
    The chairs have also been arranged in the spots where the victims were sitting during the Sunday service

The small-town Texas church where 26 people were massacred has been cleaned out and painted completely white in a chilling tribute to the shooting victims.

A temporary memorial opened on Sunday inside the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs - exactly a week after the gunman stormed in and unleashed the worst mass shooting in Texas' history.

The inside of the church has been transformed with its walls, floor and pulpit painted completely white.

Broken windows and ceiling tiles have been replaced and bullet holes filled. The church's pews, the carpet and all equipment have been removed.

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.
