Our church needed a roof replacement in the worst way.
We’ve been having some roof leakage for years now… Usually a single of the parishioners climbs up on the roof and slaps on a little bit of tar and a current shingle or more than one and that keeps the water out for a couple more months.
However, this year, that has not been enough, however the roof is leaking so disappointing that every one of us ended up draping a tarp across it. Then every one of us passed the collection plate. It took a few months however every one of us finally got enough money for the roofing materials. We still could not afford to have the roof replaced though. We needed to save up a bit more for the toil cost, however, every one of us were fortunate because a single of our parishioners is a roofing dealer. She does not own the roofing company although she said she would talk to her boss and see if they could start installing the roof now and take payments later. She came back a few mornings later and told me that her boss was willing to complete our roofing construction at cost. That means every one of us only have to pay for the roofing materials. That also means that every one of us can afford to have the current roof installed now. We went ahead and hired the roofing dealers. I’m looking forward to seeing the current roof on the church. I’m really looking forward to not having the ceiling leaking or worrying if the tarp will blow off in the storm. I’ve constantly pictured God watching us from Heaven while every one of us worship him but I do not think every one of us need holes in the roof for him to see us.
