FPC Edgewater, NJ to close on May 23.

North Jersey (Edgewater View newspaper): First Presbyterian Church of Edgewater, NJ on Undercliff Avenue forced to close its doors.
  • "It's closing because the existing congregation could not bear the weight of the financial burden of the church," said Rev. Wanda Lundy, referring to church's budget.
  • Lundy said people nationwide are flocking to non-denomination and Pentecostal churches.
  • But on a local level, the church has also lost membership due to the lack of parking. (ed: That is why I attend an urban church as opposed to a downtown church.)
  • The final service is tentatively scheduled for May 23.
