An electrical fire Monday afternoon at A&M United Methodist Church has resulted in the relocation of Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day services.

According to a post on the church’s Facebook page, power to the church’s sanctuary building will be out for a few weeks.

Upcoming services and church offices have been moved to their Christian Life Center.

The church’s Facebook post stated the fire began as the result of rain water getting to some electrical panels in the basement of the sanctuary building.

There was minimal fire damage, and an assessment is being made of smoke damage.

Christmas Eve services are at 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 p.m.

Services on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day are at 10 a.m.
