Campaign Funding Goal: $45,000
St. Francis in Fallen Leaf Lake needs your support! St. Francis of the Mountains is a summer chapel for the residents and guests of the community of Fallen Leaf Lake, South Lake Tahoe, and people who are in the area enjoying the natural beauty of the Sierras. For 100 years St. Francis has faithfully served as a place of refuge, refreshment, and blessing.
In providing a safe and dry place to worship the Lord, the roof will facilitate the Good News being preached in South Lake Tahoe. We will therefore be able to continue to praise God, baptize, bury, and marry in this historic chapel. We are a summer chapel with no permanent members which means that we often depend upon the generosity of strangers. The gift of appeal funds would be a tremendous boost for us to reach our goal of providing solace in the mountains for the next hundred years and beyond.
How will funds raised from the appeal help?
Appeal funds would pay for the replacement of the deteriorating wood shake roof with a more durable and fire safe manufactured shingle, which will look like a wood shake. Thereby maintaining the historical charm of the building while preserving its function.
We hope you will make a gift to this or other programs/ministries from the 2023 Book of Dreams in honor of someone's birthday, memory, anniversary, or a special holiday, and join us in giving thanks to the Giver of all good news, Jesus Christ.
