LEDs Lighting Our Way in Prayer

Did you notice that one of the hanging fixtures in the sanctuary was not as bright as the others?  Up until last week, the hanging fixture closest to the baptismal font was using the old 300W incandescent bulb and had not been upgraded to the new dimmable LED solution we created.

The Building Committee is also working with the National Grid Small Business Program to upgrade the lights on the altar and improve the efficiency of many of the lights throughout the Wiles Hall, offices and classrooms.

Happy Greening!
