Dear Christ family and friends,
I regret to inform you that a major fire occurred at the shelter this morning at 3:00 am. Fortunately, all residents were evacuated before the electrical room exploded. The explosion also caused the manhole near the plaza door to explode.
Several firefighters are currently on the scene, and there is still something burning. Please keep the firefighters in your prayers.
At this time, we do not know when it will be safe to re-enter the shelter or whether the memorial service tomorrow and the Sunday service can be conducted. I will provide you with updates as soon as more information becomes available.
Both Light and Charles Streets are currently closed. I wanted to send you this update before it appears in the news.
This is certainly not the kind of news I expected to wake up to this morning.
Pastor Amsalu Geleta

At approximately 4:00 AM, the Baltimore City Fire Department responded to reports of a kitchen fire in the 700 block of S. Charles Street. The building was evacuated. Units on the scene quickly identified a fire in the utility room. There were reports of an explosions inside the basement of the building and adjacent manholes.
🚧 Street Closures: The following streets are currently closed off:
* 600-700 block of S. Charles Street & Light Street
* Unit block of East Conway Street & Montgomery Street.
Surrounding buildings are sheltering in place to ensure safety. There are no reported injuries at this time and the cause of the fire is under investigation.

Your prayers are needed please, for the residents of the Women’s Homeless Shelter in Christ Lutheran Church and their neighbors near the Inner Harbor. There was a manhole explosion and small fire this morning adjacent to the church. Everyone was safely evacuated and no one was hurt. Many families from our church have been serving there once a month. Battered women and children have been temporarily sheltering there in safety for decades, then they move on. These are real families who are trying to raise their families safely. Please pray for them and the people in the neighborhood. May God bless the residents, Pastor Amsalu Geleta, the people of Christ Lutheran Church, Baltimore and all who care and pray for others.
