Raise the Roof Campaign Update
for May

Check out the board at the church entrance
the "red" is going up the thermometer !
 

I am pleased to report that we have reached the $45,000 mark in giving to our roof replacement campaign, approaching nearly 1/3 of the estimated project cost of $140,000.
 
We invite you all to join in contributing to this effort. No donation is too small. We are a church of 40 families and our goal is to have 100% participation.
 
If every family participates as an act of generosity and we have additional success in securing grants, conducting special fundraising events, and obtaining assistance from Trustee investments, we will meet our goal of replacing the roofs on the buildings of our church properties.
