Driving down Route 31 in Ewing, you may notice that Abiding Presence Lutheran Church is glowing.

And not just from a divine presence; it’s the brand new solar panels erected adjacent to the church.

While Abiding Presence is the first church in Ewing to have a solar power system built, solar panels have been seeing the light in other places of worship across New Jersey.

GreenFaith, a New Brunswick-based organization whose mission is to incorporate the environment into religion, has worked to increase the number of environmentally friendly places of worship.
