parking at first pres Part 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.

NOTES

TRADITIONAL

One of the marks of a solid hymn or song of worship is the theology that is sung. Sometimes there are catchy tunes we might like, but what we are singing is either banal or downright bad theology. It has been said that people learn much of their theology from the songs of worship. Sometimes we just sing without thinking all that much about what we are singing. The opening hymn, Come, Thou Almighty King, has a very solid text. The first verse addresses God the Father. The second stanza directs our attention to Jesus, the Incarnate Word of God. The latter part of the strophe (a structural division containing stanzas of varying line-length) prays for the Holy Spirit to descend upon us. The third verse stays with the theme of the Holy Spirit asking for Him to rule in our lives in power (in worship this morning). The final verse is Trinitarian (Father, Son & Holy Spirit) in that it pulls the previous three verses together addressing God as One as we look forward to being in God’s presence for all eternity... and all this in just the opening hymn! Every seven days we come together as God’s people to be reminded of and rehearse God’s story and plan for His people and His creation. It is the way He designed for us to be grounded in faith so that we do not play the fool. - Dr. Dan Sharp

SUMMER SCHOOL OF DISCIPLESHIP

HOW YOUR WORK FITS INTO THE BIG STORY OF GOD STARTS THIS SUNDAY, JUNE 19 The gospel restores us as image-bearers of God, and we are called to represent Him in all areas of life. When this story is forgotten, we create a false sacred/secular divide between our faith and the rest of our life. Come join the discussion, led by Michael Kelley and Jonathan Thigpen.

SUNDAYS, JUNE 19–AUGUST 21 (except July 3rd)

9:45AM, ROOM 310A&B
