Support Our Roof Fundraising Appeal
The Roof Restoration fundraiser is well underway.
Most of you are aware that the church has developed roof leaks in a number of locations. The leaks are making sections of the church unusable, as buckets are placed to catch the dripping water. The leaks are damaging the roof blanket and causing the carpet to rot, damaging our $80,000 investment made on the carpets installed 5 years ago. It is our church and we need this place of worship for our future generations. Hence, let us come together to raise funds to complete the projects. I am sure that with the assistance of our community, we can do this.
Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a significant impact in helping us reach our goal to rebuild our Church roof. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
