We endorse GREEN. We are proud that our church community is a Green Congregation. We're pleased that New Generation Energy has teamed with the PUUC in this significant fund raising campaign. We sorely need the storm windows as the present situation is woefully inadequate. We are sure that we will realize the funds necessary to bring this project to fruition. Our thanks to New Generation Energy for assisting us in this endeavor.
