THE CHURCH devastated by fire this week will be holding its Sunday Service outside tomorrow.

Mudeford All Saints Church announced to its followers its Service on Sunday, July 17, would be held on a green area a short walk away from the now gutted roof.

Residents watched in horror as the community church was engulfed by flames on Thursday evening.

More than 50 firefighters battled the blaze which is believed to have started accidentally and caused immense damage to the church – originally built in 1869.

Following this, churchgoers will be able to reunite for a Service on the green bordering Falcon Drive and Mudeford at 10am for a “short act of worship to celebrate our church and our commitment to rebuild”.

It is recommended that worshipers bring their own deckchairs if they have difficulties in standing.
