Important: Parking Lot Enforcement at FPC

Posted on Jan 12, 2018 by admin in News |

Republic Parking is now checking and issuing tickets for all the parking spaces in our lot, except on Sunday mornings and during a handful of large events (like Christmas Eve). What this means is that those parking in our lot for church activities now typically need to have their parking validated or they will get a ticket that will cost them money. There are two validation stations set up in the church. One is located in the South Building near the side door from the courtyard. Another is located at the bottom of the stairs near the kitchen in the main building. Those parking in our lot for church activities during the week (i.e., choir and bells and youth group) will need to enter their license plate number in the validation station (so they need to remember their license plate number before going into the church!).

If any church member wrongly gets a parking ticket, they can get it voided IF they email Aaron Byers WITHIN 3 days. Otherwise they will have to pay.

Although this change may make things a bit more challenging, there is an important reason for it. As our neighborhood gets increasingly busy, more and more people are poaching our parking lot spaces for non-church activities, creating issues for church events. Having Republic parking enforce parking restrictions for those outside the church is necessary in order to make sure our parking lot remains available for church activities. Questions? Contact Aaron Byers, abyers@fpctacoma.org.

FEED THE YOUTH GROUP

January 10th will be the first Wednesday night youth group ever! Same place, same people, different day! With our shift to Wednesday nights, we have many holes in our dinner schedule, and our youth still come hungry. Please consider signing up to cook a Wednesday night meal for our middle and high school students. Do it by yourself or as a small group! This is a great opportunity to meet and minister to our youth. Contact Jennifer Jensen, 206-853-1992 with questions!
