Dear Attenders at Keele: We have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we have finished paying off our loan for the new roof on our addition. The bad news is that we have to finally, after over 100 years, replace the slate roof on the original building. Unfortunately the slate has become a danger and we can no longer repair it.
As a result we asked for quotes from various roofers and have been in talks with the city since the building is listed as a heritage property, this past Sunday (June 21) we made our decision and we are going to have the same steel roof installed that we used on the addition. In order to do that, we are going to have the slate removed. The cost is going to be close to $50,000. We know this is a large expense, but it is also an inescapable expense. Please be praying about how you can support this new project and help keep the property both safe and in good repair.
As of the end of May we have raised $23,320.00! Praise the Lord and everyone who has been so generous!
This year Keele Street Christian Church is 125 years old! God is faithful and so are God’s people! On the anniversary of the church we are going to have a special celebration which will include a special offering for our new roof.
Every year we usually have a Sunday School Christmas Pageant. This year we are doing something different. Come join us for an a special worship time that will include a puppet show, lots of carol singing, followed by a potluck.
