"Souper" Bowl Sunday
Bring in items for the food pantry and place them on the end of the table field for the team you either want to win the Super Bowl or for the team you think will win the Super Bowl.  If you don't care, just place your items in the center of the field and cash donations can be place in the soup kettle.  This is a chance to feed both hungry bodies and souls.  May we share freely of the blessings that God has poured down upon us.

Summit is a  small congregation of around 80 members,
25 of whom attend the Sunday  service.

young families. People  wear what's comfortable for them. 

There is plenty of parking and  the main entrance
​is the one with the canopy (where you may drop people
off in  bad weather or if they need assistance).
Someone will greet you at the  door. 
The worship space is to the right,
and the restrooms are to the  left. 

Visitors are always welcomed warmly. 
You are invited  to contact us if you'd like more

May we live the faith
​we proclaim with our lips!

"He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
    And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
    and to walk humbly with your God."
(Micah 6:8)

With all that is happening throughout our country
and throughout the world,
I feel as if these words from the prophet, Micah,
are just as relevant today as they were
when he first prophesied them.

As Micah prophesied,
“What does the Lord require
as acceptable sacrifice and worship? 

Do Justice; be aware of how simple everyday decisions might be contributing to injustice, oppression, or careless use of the world’s resources and then be willing to do something about it.  Maybe you aren’t the one causing the injustice or harm, but sins of omission can be just as harmful and hurtful as sins of commission.
​Where is God asking us to be a voice for the voiceless?

Next requirement, to love kindness. 
In other words, what God desires - is for us to reorder life into community of enduring relations of fidelity. Relations with God, with one another, and with the universe not just so we can please God, but for the ways it will bring God’s reign here on earth as it is in heaven.

And lastly, we are called to walk humbly with God. 
Serve and be served. May we treasure the religious rituals for what they were meant to be, a sacred encounter/
a sacred relationship with the God. 
For God created us out of the overflowing love
of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
drawing us nearer to God, one another,
and all of God’s magnificent creation.

Prayer
God help us to truly be drawn into
a relationship with you
so that you may live in us, us in you
that we may all be one with you,
humanity and all of creation;
that the love that is in you will be in us
and flow out into the world
so that others too may know
the beauty of living in communion with you,
one another and all of creation. 
May it be so!
