Old style flat roofs are particularly vulnerable to leaks and the 30-year-old roof over the Cadwalader Room is no exception. Indeed, over the past couple of years, it has had increasing difficulties keeping out the rain and snow. Sad to say, the time has come to replace it.
The Rev. Dan Bursi, an architect in secular life, has drawn up plans for a replacement that should eliminate the problems flat roofs present. The new roof will have a gentle slope that will enable it to shed rain and melting slow more easily.
Your vestry has sought bids for the job from roofing contractors and the replacement will cost some $29,0000. Donations to cover the cost will be most gratefully accepted.
Please prayerfully consider helping us keep the roof over our heads by sending your contribution to The Treasurer, St Stephen’s Anglican Church, 11856 Mays Chapel Road, Timonium, MD 21057. Mark your check “Flat Roof Fund.” God bless you – Bob Reynolds
