Roof Repair Begins!

4/24/2019

On Monday, April 22, the Durable Slate company began repairing the severely-damaged roof joints above our sanctuary.  After reviewing bids from 6 vendors, your GLC council selected Durable Slate as both the most-qualified and most cost-effective bid to perform this work.  

In particular, GLC's property team was impressed with the efforts of Durable Slate to locate and purchase a supply of reclaimed Sharp's Wedge tiles, 7" x 14", which were used in our original construction, but have not been manufactured for 50+ years.  With these tiles in-hand, the new roof will accurately reflect our building's original character.

And We've Made a Commitment!

The Georgetown Lutheran congregation met this past Sunday, April 14, to discuss the need for building repairs and longer-term improvements.  GLC's council leaders titled this proposal "A Bold 250," because it includes a few different goals.  Together, we can achieve these goals in this congregation's 250th year!  

Together, we will: 
  1. Achieve a set of projects that will not only repair our leaky roof and its effects, but seek to improve the site for generations to come.  
  2. Raise funds to cover the full cost of all of our building projects, through a capital campaign titled "Grow - Restore - Serve," and additional outreach to our neighbors and historic preservation grants. 
  3. Redouble our efforts to serve our community.  Repairs to our historic building cannot be done at the expense of our outreach and feeding ministries.  We commit to achieving 250 service hours together in this milestone year.  

Here is a copy of the document that was shared and discussed.  All 3 motions were carried unanimously, so here we go!
