Over the past few years we have been working to improve the church building and grounds, inside and out. In November of 2017, a torrential rain storm caught the area by surprise, and especially the church, as the ceilings gave way to water that found its way inside and collected above the ceilings. Multiple areas were damaged, including the sanctuary where part of the ceiling collapsed. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Despite having the roof inspected twice a year, the damage was done. The church’s insurance does not cover the cost of the repairs to the roof or to the interior. Patches have been made to the roof to buy some time, skylights replaced, and the interior has had the ceiling tiles removed that are no longer able to be matched and replaced with drywall that is awaiting paint. The roofs, fascia, and gutters of the church need replacing, and multiple interior areas need other work as well that were damaged and need updating. To add to the problem, it appears the shingles used on the A-frame also contain asbestos.
The church needs your financial help, in a big way. We as our current members, our former members, and our community to assist in this task. We are currently accepting donations towards this cause. Thank you so much. Please spread the word for us too.
