Historic Church Ravaged By Fire Will Hold Final Service Sunday

DETROIT (WWJ/AP) - An historic Detroit church was ravaged by fire last weekend will hold its final service Sunday.

A candlelight vigil and non-denominational service will be held Sunday evening at the site of the former First Unitarian Church of Detroit on Woodward Avenue, just north of downtown.
