parking at first presPart of making our church a welcoming place for guests is to make our campus as accessible as possible.

The good news is, the church shares ownership in a parking garage across the street, and helps to maintain it so you can easily find free parking every Sunday and during the week.

We leave street and on-campus parking for visitors, seniors and those who need extra accessibility to the buildings.

If you are a church member and would like to purchase a parking card for the church garage for $10, please stop by the lobby desk at Edington Ministry Center during the week.

genesis worship

PENTECOST SUNDAY Today we celebrate the coming and the gift of the Holy Spirit to the followers of Christ. Sometimes Pentecost is also called the “birthday of the Church.” One of the unique aspects of this day is that the Holy Spirit came upon all the believers. The Holy Spirit was evident in the Old Testament, but not as universal as in the outpouring at Pentecost. Interestingly, this particular Jewish festival celebrated the inclusion of other nations embracing the Jewish faith. The book of Ruth (the Moabitess) was read as part of the liturgy. She was a foreigner who left her country and embraced God’s People and as a result wound up in the lineage of King David and, ultimately, that of Jesus Christ. It is not surprising then that at Pentecost, God opens wide the door and pours out His Holy Spirit on all peoples, nations, and tongues. In fulfilling His promise to Abraham, through his seed, God’s Chosen People, He brings blessing to all the peoples of the whole earth through the power and filling of the Holy Spirit. - Dr. Dan Sharp
