<div>On June 19, 2025, the Ridge Avenue United Methodist Church experienced a once-in-a-lifetime natural disaster; the first in its 178-year history on this corner of Upper Roxborough. A mighty windstorm split and brought down our tree. Whether shade for outdoor worship and holiday picnics, a canopy for Live Nativity or shade for summertime vacation bible school; this tree did it’s job!

</div>

<div>Planted in 1932, the tree was dedicated in celebration of 

</div>

<div>General George Washington’s 200th birthday. Since then this mighty oak has served our 

</div>

<div>ministries. The church has an

</div>

<div>insurance policy, it’s not going to be enough ... 

</div>

<div>Will you raise your hand and help us?

</div>

<div>Raise the Roof campaign goal is $110,000 to complete all the repairs caused by the fallen tree. So we are asking for your financial gift to be exclusively used to make the repairs and replacements to our 3 building’s roofs and structure, fencing, and monument sign. 

</div>

<div>With your kind, generous, tax-deductible gift to the church, we can get it done.
