CERTIFIED COOL CONGREGATION
Upon applicaton and approval, Peace Church has been awarded Cool Congregation Status by Interfaith Power & Light for reducing our carbon output by 30%. This was a result o four solar panel installation and our change to LED lighting. A framed certificate is displayed near our south entrance.
You can monitor our solar panel performance in real time online, and you can learn more about Cool Congregations across the country at coolcongregations.org. The mission of Interfaith Power & Light is to be faithful stewards of Creation by responding to global warming through the promotion of energy conservation, energy efficiency, and renewable energy. This campaign intends to protect the earth’s ecosystems, safeguard the health of all Creation, and ensure sufficient, sustainable energy for all.
SOLAR PANELS POWERING PEACE
Check out the roof of Peace Church on the east end of the south side: We have solar panels up there!
They look really great and they are operating great as well. You can monitor via a computer app each panel's production and whether there are any failings or concerns. We expect to see as much as a 25-percent savings in our utility bills, which we will be able to apply to ministry!
This project was made possible with the gift we received from the Leonard and Margaret Davis trust and was one of four environmental projects. They proclaim God's resourcefulness and generosity by embracing and practicing good creation care, doing what we can to lower our carbon footprint, reduce our negative impact on the environment, and promote this calling to the larger community in a positve and inviting manner.
Approximately $40,000 is accomplishing this effort in four ways. We have:
- Partnered with Ohio Interfaith Power and Light and Energy Stewards to monitor and analyze our energy use. (This is an ongoing effort.)
- Upgraded our facility to LED lighting.
- Purchased a picnic table equipped with solar-powered lighting and electric outlets.
- Installed solar panels on the south side to both promote and practice energy efficiency.
Other projects made possible by the trust gift include new playground equipment, sponsorship of a Syrian refugee family, and debt reduction.
Thanks be to God for generous neighbors and for granting us a vision to keep striving to Create Christ-Connected Community!
