• Lightning strike damages Moosup church, halts weekly community kitchen (fox61.com) — A lightning strike badly damaged Moosup United Methodist Church in Plainfield, temporarily shutting down its long-running Friday community kitchen that many local residents depend on for meals. While Sunday worship had already moved to a partner church, leaders are now scrambling to find a new site so the free weekly meal program can resume. Neighbors worry about repair costs and the loss of a key community hub.
