NORTH ANDOVER The North Parish Church, the most prominent fixture in the Old Center, has been around for nearly 400 years, yet it continues to grow.
The church has been growing so much that it has just begun to expand its quarters at the head of Great Pond Road. Debb Putnam, co-chairwoman of the Building Task Force, told The Eagle-Tribune the religious education section at the rear of the church will be replaced with a structure that will be twice as large.
The project will also include the construction of a lobby as well as renovations that will make it fully accessible, she said.
Church members began talking about expansion back in 1999, Putnam said. Even then, We were out of room, she said, adding, That is a good problem to have. They encountered some challenges, including drainage and historic preservation issues, she said.
The congregation temporarily solved its space problems by renting the old Grange Hall, which is across the street from the side of the church at 3 Great Pond Road. Members, however, wanted to have everything under one roof, Putnam said.
Windover Construction is doing the work. The church has set a deadline of Sept. 5, Putnam said. Asked why North Parish Church has been growing so much, she said, It has to be about what we are.
Putnam, an Andover resident who has been a member of North Parish since 1987, described the Unitarian congregation as diverse and welcoming. Many of the members, she said, come from different religious backgrounds or sometimes no religion at all.
She and her husband had not been part of a church for many years, she said, but when their son turned 9, they decided it would be a good idea to find a spiritual home.
This was a place that worked for us, she said.
The Unitarian Universalist Association, with which North Parish is affiliated, does not tell members what to believe, Putnam explained. A minister might provide some guidance, but members are free to find their own way, she said.

A wedding at Saint Patrick Church
Although it wasnt St. Patricks Day, perhaps there were some Irish eyes smiling upon Dr. F.R. Nickolas Carter and Josephine Decker when they were married on Nov. 3, 1926, at Saint Patrick Church in South Bend. In the 1840s, Irish immigrants arrived in South Bend, many displaced by Irelands Great Potato Famine. In 1858, under the direction of the Rev. Thomas Carroll, they founded Saint Patrick Church, which they named for the patron saint of Ireland.
The original church was built on the corner of Western Avenue and Scott Street. Just over 30 years later, in 1886, the congregation built a Gothic-style church at its current location at 309 S. Taylor St. When the Rev. Edward Sorin began construction on the University of Notre Dame, he turned to these Irish Catholic laborers. Surprisingly, the first St. Patricks Day parade was held not in Ireland but in New York City in 1762. The celebration of St. Patricks Day was originally a way for Irish immigrants in America to keep in touch with their cultural identity and ancestry.

A wedding at Saint Patrick Church
What's the better deal for your pocketbook and the environment: a new major appliance or a refurbished one?
Several consumers who recently replaced washers and dryers told our research team that they bought used because those models might last just as long as new ones and that reusing is a good "green" practice.
One couple said that when their 20-year-old washing machine finally died, they were disappointed when the brand-new replacement lasted only five years. Instead of taking a chance on another new model, they spent $250 on a used model they figure will last at least as long as a new one.
Another consumer bought a refurbished dryer for $200 rather than spend $1,000 on a unit she believed would last no more than the 10 years she expects her used unit to remain reliable.
To these people, and others like them, buying used saves the green in wallets while eliminating the need to use resources to make a new washer or dryer.
Highly rated appliance repair pros tell our team that new appliances tend to have about half the life span of past models. Reasons they cite include the use of cheaper raw materials and a greater reliance on computerized systems.
So if it's time for you to replace a major appliance, particularly a washer or drier, consider whether a refurbished model might be a good value, and find a local shop that's gotten good consumer reviews on a trusted online site.
Before you buy new:
_Consider a unit's EPA Energy Star rating, but also how long it's expected to last.
_Research possible features and decide before shopping which ones you actually need.

Living Smart: Are used appliances 'greener'?
Monday, March 17, 2014, by Spencer Peterson
After spending nearly a year on the market in search of $2,995,000, Atlanta, Ga.'s so-called 'European Stunner' of a mansion might be due for a price cut, or maybe a little TLC from an interior designer. Though the loud shade of teal covering the kitchen, the shutters, and the French doors is certainly "stunning"no questions therebut when paired with the verging-on-gaudy furniture choices, it gives the place a bit of a cramped, loony feel, and with over 9,000 square feet crammed onto 1.3 acres, it can't really afford to get any tighter. To be sure, this circa 1940 five-bedroom has a bunch of things worth keeping; hardwood floors, "many unique chandeliers," Sherle Wagner sinks, a "garden room," a hedge-lined pool, a two-bedroom carriage house. But spending season after season on the market without changing up one's approach might be the definition of real estate insanity. For now, check out the decorative craziness on the inside, including the mosaic-covered steps in the entryway and one tiny, resplendently pink sitting room.
