Steeple, Roof, and Window Projects.

In July 2008 a wind storm came through our area.  As a result Zion Lutheran Church sustained considerable damage to the shingles, as did many buildings in the area.  Due to the high volume of roof damage in the area, the workload exceeded the workforce and it was impossible to complete the work before winter.  At the annual meeting on May 17, 2009, it was decided to restore the roof and steeple to the original cedar shakes, which will almost triple the life of the roof compared to applying an asphalt roof.   It will be historically correct as well as aesthetically pleasing.  Work began in June 2009.  Our goal is to raise $10,000 in cash and/or materials which is the cost above and beyond insurance coverage.  Visit www.truenorthcedar.com for information on cedar shakes.

The stained glass windows and sills are also in need of restoration in addition to some storm damage.  We have contracted with Terhaar Studios.  The restoration will consist of releading the windows and replacing sills.  The estimated cost is $1,400.00 per window.  This restoration will extend the life and beauty of the windows for many years to come.  The window restorations will be a two to three year project.  This would be a great opportunity to involve your whole family in a multi year pledge towards restoring a window.   Visit http://www.terhaarstainedglass.com for more information on the contractor.

Any donations above and beyond the cost of these projects will go to the general fund.
