Fit for the future, David and Enitan tell the story…

We're excited to announce that our 32 solar panels are now resting upon the beautiful Welsh slate roof tiles and generating power! Good for the planet and also helpful in reducing our energy bills, as is the sheep’s wool which has been used to insulate the roof space. Martin blessed the solar panels last Friday with a poem written by Amelia.

We did anticipate that there would be a few surprises along the way and there were! In addition, the PCC also agreed as scaffolding costs are so high, that it made sense to commit to doing some repairs, which we had not budgeted for, whilst we had the scaffold in place.

We know that many of you have already given to the ‘Go Green’ campaign, but we also know that there are people who have offered to contribute to the ‘Fit for the Future’ campaign. If you would like to and are able to you, you can make your donation directly on Sundays using the card machine or the hat, or here via Stewardship. No gift is too little because together our gifts add up.

As ever, thank you for your support. The heat pump and the solar panels together help St Luke’s to reduce our carbon footprint and hopefully will inspire other churches and organisations to do likewise.

With best wishes,
Jacqui & Joy

A Version of Psalm 23 by Amelia Turncliffe

God is my Solar Panel,
I shall not be in the dark.
God energises me, leading me into hope.
I am full, my battery is powered up.
Even in the days of cloud,
I know the divine presence is there.
As each day the sun rises
- hidden sometimes but ever present - I grow not weary or afraid.
I know the power will return and the light will shine through.
