Word spread quickly around Emo and even across the Internet about the tragic fire at Pastor Dueck’s house just outside of Emo.
The good news is that everyone in the family is in good shape except for some frostbite. Unfortunately, the Duecks lost everything.
They will be moving back into the church’s house in Emo and will require donations from the community.
If you would like to give please call Carmela at 482-3751.
