Solar Panels - We're Connected!

We are called to be stewards of the environment, and this includes reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. By purchasing a solar PV system, we can reduce the amount of emissions we release from our electricity consumption. This will reduce air pollution and improve air quality, slow the effects of climate change, and reduce our reliance on a diminishing supply of fossil fuels. Installation is complete and we are now connected to the grid!

Check out how we're doing!

The Joy of Being a Camp Chaplain

I’ve had the honour to be invited to Camp Valaqua for several years now, as a chaplain (even though I am a school teacher, not a pastor!). Sometimes people thank me for “giving up” a week of my summer, but let me share with you what I get out of it.
