"Memorial Day invites us into a sacred pause. It is more than a long weekend or the unofficial start of summer. It is a day set apart to remember, intentionally and reverently, those who gave their lives in service to others. It is also a day to acknowledge the quiet grief carried by families, friends and communities who continue living in the absence of someone they love."
In today's Mission Yearbook entry, the Rev. Dennis Hysom, Executive Director of Presbyterian Federal Chaplaincies, shares a Memorial Day Devotional. Read the full reflection here: https://hubs.ly/Q04hl-Cn0

WEST PENN ENERGY FUND SUPPORTS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECT

With the assistance of a grant from the West Penn Energy Fund, the Presbyterian Church of Kane has begun its project of creating a welcoming energy efficient resource for community education and service in Kane.

“Older buildings are historically significant. They are a witness to our shared history,” said the church’s Visioning Committee chair Jody Larson. “But we have to care for them using modern technology if we want to ensure that they continue to be useful and practical spaces into the future.”

Through funding support from West Penn Energy Fund, the church engaged Envinity, Inc., a State College based energy service company, to perform an assessment of the building’s energy use and make recommendations for increased efficiency.

Installing LED lighting was a high priority, and the church hired Kane’s Walker Electric to install new lighting in the church’s lower level and parking lot. New lighting in the lower level will enhance its use by other partners, such as the Northern Pennsylvania Regional College and UPMC Kane in their presentation of community education programming.

In addition, kitchen upgrades will accommodate expanded use, including by Katie Kitchen, LLC a unique catering service. “Adding LED lighting to the parking lot,” Larson explained, “will increase safety for those using the building at night. We anticipate that will be happening as programming options expand.”

“The vision of our congregation has always been to ‘reach out’ to the community to share faith and values,” explained The Rev. Carol Sharp, the church’s pastor. “One of those values is to provide a setting that can enrich the well-being of our community by providing a place where people can learn, share, create and meet in a space that can be non-sectarian and non-denominational.”

“At the West Penn Energy Fund, we see both the challenges and the opportunities in older buildings. While they can be costly to maintain, letting them fall into disrepair is a loss for our communities. Projects like this show how smart energy investments can reduce operating costs and allow organizations to reinvest in the programs that keep our rural communities strong” said Joel Morrison, WPEF Fund Administrator.

The West Penn Energy Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit seeking transformational projects that will support the deployment of sustainable energy technologies in a manner that will improve the economic and environmental health of communities within the West Penn Power service region. Funding is focused in three broad categories:
• Deployment of sustainable and clean energy technologies;
• Deployment of energy efficiency and conservation technologies; and
• Facilitating economic development, environmental betterment, and public
education as they relate to sustainable energy deployment in the WPP service
region.
