Visiting Summit:

Summit is a  small congregation of around 100 members, 50 of whom attend the Sunday  service.  While many members are older, there are some 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 information before attending for a first  time.

Email the church with any questions or  comments.

"The light keeps shining in the dark,
and darkness has never put it out."
John 1:5 (CEV)

This is one of the first scriptures I shared during Advent,
was a theme that I used throughout all of Advent
and continue to use. 
When God sent his Son into the world
it was not to condemn the world
but that the world might be saved through the Son.

In the Gospel of John Jesus tells us
“I am the light for the world!
Follow me, and you won’t be walking in the dark.
You will have the light that gives life.”
John 8:12 (CEV)

Advent and Christmas, though seasons of a church year,
are not meant to be contained to just those seasons,
rather they are meant to remind us of the light that is there for us year round.  That light not only gives us the light of hope, peace, joy and love; as we embrace and follow that light, it gives life to us and to the world.

In Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, we are told to -
"Make your light shine,
so that others will see the good that you do
and will praise your Father in heaven."
Matthew 5:16 (CEV)

God of all creation,
help us to truly embrace your life-giving light,
not only for a season, but every day of our lives. 
As your light fills our lives, may we heed its guidance
and let your light shine forth from our lives
so that others may see the good that we do
and will not only praise you,
but want to be a part of it too.
Amen.
