Congregation Sing Around Piano Among Rubble Of Church Destroyed By Tornado

A group of churchgoers were amazed to discover their piano intact despite the building being destroyed by a tornado – and promptly rallied around for a sing song. Powerful footage shows how the moment provided a local community with a message of hope. Their church had been completely obliterated by a tornado that tore through Chattanooga, Tennessee. But after the storm passed, and churchgoers rushed to inspect the damage, they discovered their piano was still left standing and perfectly preserved, leading them to break out in song. Members of the Cornerstone Apostolic Church stood around the instrument while beams, roofing and debris lay on the floor beside them. The church’s minster of music, DaRon Ackerson, 32, played the piano while members of the community sang to the tune. A representative for the church, Lauren Sloan, said that initially the piano was not visible amongst the rubble – but as the church’s family began to dig, they noticed the instrument was still standing.
