The Community United Methodist Church in Ashton has a new roof and to say thank you it is holding a free community meal.
The “Loaves and Fishes” meal is on Thursday, Oct. 18 from 5 - 7 p.m.
Much of the money to build the roof came from a trust fund but to cover the rest the community came together for fundraising activities. This truly shows that it takes a community to raise a roof.
“The board of trustees decided we need a new roof and brought it to our church leadership and they decided ‘ok we are going to move forward by the grace of God,’” said Rev. Desi Larson.
