EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (AP) — Members of an East St. Louis congregation are hoping to rebuild after a large blaze destroyed their church. East St. Louis Fire Chief Jason Blackmon says the Saturday night fire engulfed the whole structure of the Christ Redeemed Missionary Baptist Church. The cause of the blaze is unknown. The church’s pastor, the Rev. Dewitt Rhodes, called the church “a centerpiece for God’s work in the neighborhood.”
