Historic Central Texas church burns down

Most of the 108-year-old Mooreville United Methodist Church was destroyed by fire Thursday night, Feb. 7.

Fire departments received the call about 10:30 p.m. Thursday. The church was empty and there were no injuries, according to reports. The sanctuary, classrooms and offices are a complete loss, but the nearby fellowship hall and neighboring houses were not damaged.

Falls County Sheriff Ricky Scaman said it took about two hours to contain the fire, due to a strong wind.
