As you may have heard, the price of gas is set to rise again this winter. This will be the fourth year in a row that energy prices have risen, and it’s a trend that looks set to continue.
What does this mean for churches? Well, as always, it depends on your situation. But if you’re looking for ways to save money on heating and lighting costs, here are some ideas:
-Update your lights. LEDs use much less energy than traditional bulbs, and they last longer too! If you’ve got old halogen bulbs in your church hall or sanctuary, consider replacing them with LEDs—you’ll see a significant drop in your energy bill over time.
-Use solar power! If you have the space outside your church building (or even inside), consider installing solar panels on your roof—it’s not just good for the environment, it can also help reduce your energy bills.
-Insulate your building well. It might seem like an expensive process at first glance, but having an insulated building could save you hundreds or even thousands of pounds each year on heating costs alone!
Churches in the UK are closing down due to energy costs. And it’s not just because they’re not making enough money to pay their bills. It’s because they’re facing a huge rise in energy prices that is making it harder and harder for them to stay open.
This problem isn’t just happening in the UK, either—it’s a global issue. In fact, churches all over the world are struggling with these rising costs, and many have already closed their doors.
We believe there’s more than one way out of this mess! We think that there are some simple things we can do to help our churches save money on their energy bills (and stay open!).
