There's no place like home for the holidays —and on Christmas Eve, members of Riverhead's First Congregational Church will be worshipping inside the historic church's sanctuary once again, after months of forced absence due to the potential imminent collapse of the church roof.

“We basically avoided a complete [roof] failure by just a day,” said Ron Blake, the church’s chairman of building and grounds. “We would have lost the whole building."

The only thing that's kept the 106-year-old historic church from collapsing under the weight of a roof whose cracked support structures can no longer bear its weight is prayer, says contractor Richard Cox of Calverton, whose crews raced against time to shore up the sagging roof and prevent a load-bearing wall from falling down.
