Crew arrives to replace the sanctuary roof
The roofers arrived at 8:30 a.m. Monday morning to begin tearing the aging and failing cedar shingles off the sanctuary roof. There's frost on the hard ground and on the roof, and the crew has special spiked footwear to do the job. It's cold out, too, about 36 degrees.
The staging area and trucks are parked outside the front door, to the left as you're looking at the entryway. You'll need to park elsewhere for a few days while they get this part of the job done.
Members of Bethany raise in excess of $30,000 to fund the new roof. It will be metal, to go with the roof that covers the fellowship hall, installed in 2009.
It looks relatively dry this week, except for a 40 percent chance of rain on Wednesday. Stop by and see the work.
