You can now monitor the performance of our solar panels on line from your own computer. You will be able to see current, daily, weekly, monthly and lifetime production graphics and view time lapse animations of the performance of the panels. You will not be able to modify or change any settings. Feel free to play with it, you can't hurt anything by pushing the wrong button.
This app will help you understand better how the system works.
Have fun!
There are two spaces in the upper left hand corner of the right hand array because those are non-functioning panels put there for aesthetic purposes. Connecting them would exceed our 10 Kw MicroFIT limit.

The Sunday school children in Grand Bank, Newfoundland, asked members to bring in pennies to help the church be a friend to people in the world. They collected 122,000 pennies or $1,220 for Mission and Service! They discovered that every gift can make a difference when we join together. |

CELEBRATION AND JOY
Prayer Shawls were presented to various members of our congregation on Palm Sunday. These gifts were given to each individual so that they could be uplifted and affirmed with TSA love, so as to fly above their troubles, like Eagle Wings, and to know they are not alone. Each time you put on these shawls may you all be restored and made whole. Praise be to God.
Prayer Shawl Ministry. |

The Admaston and Area Grain Share Project Committee calls upon us, their partner, in the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, to make a donation to help feed the hungry around the world. CIDA matches the donation at 4:1. Every dollar will be matched and will become $4.00 to help feed families and make them self-sufficient. You may use the envelopes found on the display cabinet in the narthex for your donation and place on the collection plate. Thank you for your support to this Christian response to hunger in the world.

Volunteers are needed for Monday to Thursday during the second and third weeks of May.

Community Church in Deep River is covering the first week of May, and week-ends are also covered, so we need two more teams for four week days each. Interested individuals are asked to contact the church office.
