The rescue of this church is what God is all about, overcoming adversity with a victorious testimony of God's greatness to share. So many memories rescued from the fire and preserved forever, and a beautiful place of worship saved! Thankyou for putting God first in this endeavor. It is so encouraging. 🛐✝
I cried when I saw the fire on the news. I'm so glad that this beautiful amazing piece of art was able to be restored and with a sprinkler system and steel roof trusses now. Hopefully she'll stand another 500 years! I live in Milwaukee so this church means a lot to me. In an organist so the loss of that magnificent organ hit me hard as well.
This is absolutely thrilling on so many levels. To behold a beloved place of worship so horribly devastated by fire and to experience its resurrection through the faith and love of its members, the community and the skilled, committed people of the trades, artists. architects, engineers and historians can only be seen and honored as acts of love.
I am glad they are able to reconstruct this beautiful building. And restoring the beautiful chandeliers was really wonderful. I have no words to describe the beauty of the alter and how it was restored. Using the wood from the pews and the charred beams was really great and will keep some of the former building there for all times. Hats off to all of the dedicated workers, engineers, architects etc that made this possible. Amazingly beautiful. Thank you to all who made this video possible.
Beautiful job! Very well done for a smaller community. I have been by this church and to get this much done in a short period of time is on par with the restoration of Notre Dame. They had 5,000 artisans working to get it done in just over 5 years. We have far less resources than France where there are several artists and craftsmen to work. I hope all these techniques get passed on to future generations before they are lost to time.
the is a common occurrence in many of our older cities and towns, often these old churches have a congregation that is as old as the building or so it seems and they don't have the energy or resources to properly take care of the structure or rebuild it even a small disaster. These buildings were built of bricks and stone but the roof structure just like Notre Dame in Paris was wood in most cases, even if it was a wood building, it is difficult to get wood today in the dimensions used a century and a half ago. Bricklayers and stone masonry are an art that while not dead, is very much declined and those techs who do this are much in demand and expensive. It is also hard to get insurance on these old buildings and the insurance evaluation is based on replacement (a new building of similar size) not on rebuilding a historic monument. My late cousin was pastor of such a church, making it even more difficult, the building was registered as a historic landmark and even the slightest change in appearance required approval of the community's historic review board. This made everything slower and more expensive.
I a way, Notre Dame de Paris has made a pathway for restoration as a real possibility. Both these churches are of the same testament. That is a real stewardship and comment of materializing their Faith and commitment to an Oath. I love how they saw every piece of the fabric as One with the Church building as Holy. That was beautiful to see. I bet the charcoal will be used for Good Friday.
Beautifull woodwork, considering when it was originally Built It sometime puzzles me the craftsmanship, I'm a veteran furniture Builder and now we don't come close to building things as well crafted .
This is similar to the Notre Dame restoration. Notre Dame went with original wood timbers and Trinity went with steel. I think Notre Dame cost over a billion dollars and the French Government and Catholic Church has deeper pockets.
My heart is encouraged by the tenacity, dedication and commitment of this Pastor, and wonderful people. Our magnificent God be praised!
as a Frenchman I made a donation for this wonderful church, believers from all over the world must help each other, because it is also our identity.
@gandigooglegandigoogle7202 Sir, your comment is so well said and so very true.

Thank you. What a wonderful documentary. God bless Trinity Lutheran Church, Pastor Peters and all her members.

Bro opened the doors and it caused a lot more damage. He increased rate of spread drastically.
I Hope It’s easy unlike I like the five years of restoration of Notre Dame cathedral

What Lutheran synod is this parish? Looks an awful lot like high church Anglican.
At 3:42 in the video, they identify this church as a Missouri Synod church.
Missouri Synod
Maybe the world will give you $900,000,000!
I Hope It’s easy unlike
