Much is happening at UUCF’s congregational partner in Szentgerice, Transylvania (Romania). This week, Rev. Barni and church leaders are applying for a government grant to install solar panels that will provide all the power needed by the church and parish house. They had a very dry summer – no rain from June to mid-September. Luckily, the crops were not badly affected. The dry weather also gave Rev. Barni an opportunity to rebuild the very old parish house well. A plan for a new highway was announced that will run within 1,000 feet of the village. Rev. Barni says “We know the benefits, but . . . we are afraid it will bother a lot the peace and the quiet of the area.”
