Indeed. How many Episcopalians does it take to change nine light
bulbs? When it involves an extension ladder extended to the maximum, it takes a crew – one brave soul to ascend the ladder and three or four to attend the ladder. That’s what happened on June 28th and July 2nd. All-in-all the crews replaced nine halogen/fluorescent/incandescent light bulbs with LED bulbs. Those who attend services in the Little Church should notice easier reading of the Prayer Book and Hymnal.
Al Casas, ladder ascender and bulb exchanger, noted that probably the next time he will need to change those bulbs he will be eighty years old…maybe by then someone else will want to climb the twenty feet into the heights of the Little Church to replace the bulbs. At least he’s pretty certain that he would just like to watch.
Besides the long life of the LED bulbs, the replacement bulbs should be saving roughly 75% in power consumption over the older bulbs.
That’s part of the reason the other bulb-changing crew wanted to help Al. The crew: Saturday – Bud Pearson, Don Rose, Bob Bynum, Greg Miller, and Tuesday: Don Rose, Bruce Roberts and Dave Nelsen. Al gets the High Flyer award!
