Help Restore the Historic Roof — Sponsor a Board!
As we’ve begun disassembling the roof, we discovered that the damage runs far deeper than what we could see from the surface. The good news? We’re restoring the building to her former glory — but we’re going to need more lumber than expected.
Even after buying and staining many of the roofing planks, we’re still about 45–60 boards short (estimated). Each one costs around $15–$20.
We’re inviting anyone who’d like to sponsor a board for $20 to help complete the restoration.

For the technically curious:
The restoration uses rough-sawn boards cut to true 1800s-era dimensions — a real 2 inches, not the modern “nominal” size. There’s no plywood in this project. The new boards are being ripped to match the originals, and the fresh ones will be installed lower down and stained after mounting.
When you look up during services, you’ll see exactly what our predecessors saw — a faithful recreation of the original craftsmanship.
