Thank you to all who have contributed so far! We are still standing, by the grace of God and your generous donations. ❤️
We were able to remove the decaying old roof structure and rebuild it from the walls up before the Winter snows came this season! Praise God! We were able to insulate about 1/4 of the ceiling, but still have 3/4 to go. Also, in order to get the structural materials in time to get the job done, a local merchant allowed us to put about $5000 worth of materials on credit, but it will need to be paid for soon.
Please consider donating whatever you can, and sharing this campaign with your friends. We still have willing volunteers to do the work. We just need the funds to pay for materials.
The old Marble Schoolhouse was originally constructed at the turn of the twentieth century. Back when the town of Marble was originally chartered, it was a two room school house, and used for many years until the era of the Depression, when many things were neglected and people moved away, so that the school shut down and over time fell into disrepair.
In the closing decade of the twentieth century, the old dilapidated building was renovated and brought back to life by a community of local volunteers working together to have a place to meet together and fellowship, teach classes, hold worship services, and host many local community events. Over the last three decades, this building has been the meeting place of Marble Community Fellowship, the Ballroom of the Annual Marble Winter Ball, the Banquet room of the Annual Marble Harvest Celebration, the classroom of high-school and elementary level classes for local home school co-op parents, a gathering place for special birthdays and baby showers in the community, and a venue for several local weddings and memorial services.
Several heavy winter snows have put an undue amount of pressure on the building's roof structure, and this old landmark was again in need of reinforcement and support. Local volunteers were again ready and willing to offer their time and skills to do the reconstruction that was necessary, but we needed materials.
This campaign started in the Fall of 2024, and before Winter began, the outside was finished, thanks to donors like you and willing volunteers. Hallelujah! Nevertheless, in order to finish what we have begun, we still need more funds.
Would you please consider donating toward this cause, both restoring an ancient landmark in our local area, and preserving the structure that will enable the current local community to continue to gather together for so many local events and activities?
Thank you again for your consideration.
May you be blessed as you begin to work on the church!
Sending prayers that you receive more than what you need to restore the schoolhouse.

Thanks to all who have contributed, we have successfully gotten the roof replaced!
Now we need to finish getting the ceiling built and insulated, so the building can be heated and used for all the activities of the Church and Community!
Every little bit helps!
