This week, the work on replacing the church A/C and the A/C in the Ed Center began.
As was announced, the cost of the project for the church A/C will be around $36,000.
We've been praying for God's blessing and guidance for this and other projects. So, please continue praying. If you would like a copy of the prayer we say in church, please let me know.
The second project underway is the replacement of the whole HVAC and lighting systems in the Educational Center. The cost of the project is around $125,000. Under the PSEG Energy Saver Program, we've received a 70% grant, while we are responsible for the other 30% (roughly $37,000) that will be paid off over the next three years (interest free).
Again, please continue praying and, if you are able, or you know someone who is, consider making a financial contribution towards the accomplishment of these projects.

Let me not be deceived by the corrupting delights of this world, but rather strengthen in me the desire to attain the treasures of the world to come.

Jonathan Pageau and Dr Jordan Peterson delve into the concepts of conscience, narrating objective reality, the perfect mode of being, the responsibility to move things towards the divine, the inevitability of religion, the significance of the virgin birth, and the idea of Heaven.
Jonathan Pageau is a symbolic thinker, YouTuber, and class carver of Orthodox icons. Jordan and Jonathan have an ongoing dialogue surrounding Judeo-Christian narrative, reality, and symbolism among many other topics.
