After a flood in April, Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church’s building in east Vancouver is unusable, according to its pastor. The church is looking for another organization to take its rotation as a winter shelter from mid-November through mid-March.
The church was undergoing roof repairs when a heavy rainstorm hit, flooding the building, according to Cheryl Pfaff, co-coordinator of the shelter.
