HELP US RAISE THE ROOF!
Even while we are fundraising to build our New Parish Hall and move to our Historic Chapel Campus, restoration work on the Chapel continues.
Our current urgent need concerns the Chapel roof, where an additional amount needs to be raised for installation of a new sub-roof, in addition to allocated Grant monies already in place for the waterproofing, roof-felt and metal roofing sections.
We need to immediately raise $7,800 to install new 1/2" CDX plywood across the entire roof area prior to the installation of waterproofing, roof-felt and metal roofing sections, per the manufacturer's specifications.
For these outer roofing sections to go on properly, there needs to be a solid wood sub-roof, rather than the existing horizontal rough-cut strips shown in the photo. (The condition of the current sub-roof wasn't something that could have been known without X-ray or investigative demolition at the time of the bid and original contract.)
The photo shows the horizontal rough-cut wood strips which formed the support for the (now removed) former metal roof.

From 'St John of Shanghai and San Francisco, Zealous Builder of Churches'
Everywhere he went he either oversaw the building of churches or supported the same with his attention and prayers... He wrote about the godly work of building churches:
"In building churches here on earth, we create for ourselves eternal habitations in heaven."
