Church Roots - 2007 & Beyond

Even though we are a small church, we were able to make some much needed major improvements to our church foundation over these last 3 years. 

2007

After many years of patch jobs, a focused campaign to get the funds needed to replace the seriously compromised roof was started and the generosity of a few parishioners put us over the top in being able to afford a brand new roof. The entire roof was removed and replaced with a better material that should last far longer than most of us currently worshiping here.

2008

In January the boiler in the church needed serious repair or replacement. After moving to the warmer church hall for a few weeks, a generous friend of the church contacted a heating company to install 2 new boilers, at little cost to the church.

2009

The biggest wish of the parish for the previous 40 some years, was to have a parking lot that was not only paved, but safe. We were able to achieve that milestone in July, 2009! 

Several bids had come in from contractors with exhorbitant amounts that we initially believed would force this dream on the back burner yet again, after many years of praying for it. One bid finally arrived with a much more manageable number at the bottom, and that company was given the work. We had received a generous grant in April which put us about $6,000 shy of the total bid. Again, we were blessed with generous large donations from a few parishioners and were able to pay the initial bid immediately upon completion of the work. There were several unexpected expenses from the Town of Cheektowaga that the contractor has graciously allowed us to pay as we can. We are hoping to have that paid before the end of 2010.
