I’m pretty active in our church, and I’m there a lot.
I lead a lot of the mission groups and I also help to lead on the worship team. I end up being in the church building many hours a week as a volunteer. Since I am there so much, I guess I am more prone to noticing the issues that we have with our heating and cooling system than most people are. I guess if you are there only on Sunday mornings, you might not notice it, but the fact of the matter is that there is a big problem with the heating and cooling and ventilation system at our church. When I am working in the office during the week, it’s usually freezing cold in there. Normally I don’t really mind being a little bit chilly, but when the weather outside is in the teens, the temperature inside of the church doesn’t really go up very much. I had to bring in a little electric space heater to keep under my desk when I’m working at church because it’s so cold in there that I can barely feel my hands sometimes. I hear the heating system cycling on and off throughout the day, but for some reason, the temperature in the office just never seems to go up very much at all. I’m pretty sure that there is some common issue going on with either our thermostat or heating system and we need to get it resolved. I guess I need to talk with our maintenance guy about getting in touch with our commercial HVAC company to come and figure out what the issue is.
