Just a Little Wisp of Water Vapor

The little wisp of water vapor seen against the early morning sky in the photograph above is symbolic of a huge step forward for the current construction work at Grace Church! The tiny white puff comes from one of the two new "Munchkin" boilers that have been installed in the church basement, replacing the former oil burner that heated the church. On Friday, October 10, the boiler was put online for testing, with excellent results. A new underground gas main must be installed to provide sufficient fuel to run both Munchkins at full output, and that is expected within a few days. The new boilers are extremely efficient, and the resulting reduction in fuel cost is expected to pay for the entire installation in four years.
