St. Matthew’s has joined just a handful of Presbyterian churches in Canada in implementing a green energy program by installing solar panels on the church roof. The panels don’t just power the church; they also put enough energy back into the Ontario grid to power two regular homes. The congregation was surprised and grateful when project partners Saturn Power and Canadian Solar Solutions, moved by St. Matthew’s commitment to their community, presented them with a cheque for $5000 to continue their work. This sustainability – conscious church will surely put the gift to good use!
