LENTEN CARBON FASTING TIP

New LED light bulbs save a lot of electricity, which reduces carbon emissions. An LED needs only 6-8 watts to produce as much light as an old 60 watt incandescent bulb. (An equivalent compact fluorescent bulb burns about 15 watts.) Though they are pricey, the new LEDs offer other advantages: LEDs last over 40 times as long as incandescents, and at least 6 times the life of CFBs. LEDS contain no toxic mercury unlike CFBs, which are hard to dispose of. Both incandescents and CFLs are sensitive to very cold temperatures and humidity; LEDs are not. Incandescents and CFBs are more fragile and subject to breaking by impact. With LEDs becoming available in more sizes and styles, and with their prices dropping, they are a good environmental choice.

MARCH EVENSONG CONCERT

The University of Oregon Gospel Choir will perform at St. Paul's on March 1st. This all-student group, under the direction of Andiel Brown, is a functioning ensemble in the School of Music at the University of Oregon and will perform new and traditional forms of gospel music. Under Brown's direction, the UO Top Gospel Singers made world history in March 2013 by becoming the first gospel act ever to make a public performance tour of The People's Republic of China. They held 15 performances throughout China, including a special joint concert with the #1 Chinese choral choir, The Qingdao Teachers Choir, at the Qingdao Grand Theater. The St. Paul's Chamber Singers will sing the service of Evensong at 4:00 p.m. The concert follows immediately thereafter.
