G E N E S I S WO R S H I P T R A D I T I O N A L WO R S H I P

In the early Church, Easter was understood as one long great Sunday and was celebrated as a week of weeks comprising fifty days of rejoicing, culminating with the arrival of Pentecost. The ramifications of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and His victory over sin, death, and the power of evil was far too great to be limited to a one day of celebration! Each of the seven Sundays had a particular focus. This Second Sunday, (today), was known as St. Thomas Sunday. Youll recall Thomas was not present when Jesus first appeared to His disciples and, as a result, had doubts about the validity of the resurrection. It was on this particular Sunday, eight days after the resurrection that Jesus again appeared to His disciples, this time with Thomas present. The disciple who had had misgivings about the possibility of a resurrection fell down before His risen Lord and declared in the clearest manner possible, My Lord, and my God! No clearer words have ever been spoken regarding the One weve come to worship this morning. All creatures of our God and King, lift up your voice and let us sing! Alleluia! - Dr. Dan Sharp

PARKING AT FIRST PRES

Part of making our church a welcoming place for guests is to make our campus as accessible as possible.

Take advantage of our parking garage across the street. The church shares ownership in this garage and helps to maintain it so our members can easily find free parking every Sunday and during the week.

Street and on-campus parking is 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 to complete the application.

WELCOME!
