Saint Paul’s is starting a campaign to purchase 3 mini splits for the church- two for upstairs and one for the basement. The goal of the project is to make the church more comfortable and to reduce utility bills which currently are approx. $8000.00 per year. We were able to get three quotes and the total project is near $19000.00 , tax included. After rebates and grants from NBPower (already applied for and approved), it drops to $13000.00. The good news is that from past fundraising efforts at the church we already have $5000.00 raised for the project. We are hoping to raise the remaining $8000.00 through fundraisers and donations. If you would like to make a donation towards this project, please mark it on your offering envelope. If you have any questions oabout this project, please contact Kevin Hosman.
