CONWAY — Thanks to a strong community effort, the Lutheran Church of the Nativity in North Conway housed a makeshift warming center for people in need when an arctic blast hit the region last week.

Pastor Nathan Hall said Jan. 17, following a weekend of bitter cold, the shelter in the church basement served a total of four people, three of whom stayed overnight. One came back a second night. He said one person been sleeping in a tent and two had been sleeping in their cars.
