Greening Our Sacred Space

Melrose had been looking at our environmental footprint and 'Greening our Sacred Space' for a number of years.  At our Annual General Meeting in February 2011 we discussed and approved Energy Planing including replacing our aging boiler and installing solar panels. 

Boiler replacement and solar panel installation were both completed during the summer of 2011.

These initiatives have the potential to significantly reduce our net energy consumption and help in our stewardship of God's world. Bonus: Going 'Green' means using fewer resources and saving money which will help to put our bottom line 'in the Black'.

Each month we receive an update on the number of trees our solar panels have "saved" through our carbon offset.

In March 2019 we offset 23 trees!
