More than 25 organizations from across Alaska came to an Anchorage meetinghouse on Saturday, February 17, 2024, to collect the materials they asked to receive.
The Brayton chapel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is set to be torn down to build a larger house of the Lord in its place. Almost a year ago, Sheldon and Christine Fisher, following the example set a few years earlier in California, did not want to see materials from inside the building languish in the landfill. Christine knew they could be put to good use in the community.
“[We have] a lot of friends in the community who do good things within their own congregation and by helping them, we knew it would help the faith and the building of the community,” Christine said. “We reached out to our Jewish friends, our Muslims friends, and all these other Christian faith as well as nonprofits to see [what] they needed, and the response was overwhelming. They were just so grateful. And we are so grateful that they’re taking it. I know it just continued to bless the community that this chapel will live on through these other organizations.”
