I am posting the Worship Script to Worship Script for your personal use.  Currently posted is the 06/13  Service.  Worship Livestream on YouTube is where you can view the worship service live, or recorded if you click on that link after the worship service.  Previous services are also available at that link.

We are once again hosting In-person Worship as well as on-line.  Please join us in whatever way you feel comfortable in joining us.  Those worshipping in person will no longer be required to wear face masks but are encouraged to wear them if you are not fully vaccinated or that is how you are more comfortable being around other people.  Covid or otherwise, if you are not feeling well please stay home.  Whether you choose to worship in-person or remotely, please remember to stay connected.

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.

A Prayer for Memorial Day

Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this:
to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” 
This Memorial Day may we remember the love shown us through those who laid down their lives
both figuratively and literally in service to this nation
seeking freedom, peace, liberty, and justice for all.

God of all creation, hear our prayer
as we commemorate and commend to you
those who served and laid down their lives
in service to this nation
through the various wars and conflicts in human history
so that others may live in freedom. 
We praise and thank you for the gift of their lives
and the great sacrifice they have made
in seeking peace, liberty and justice for all.

We also lift into your care those who still mourn the loss
of a loved one, friend, and/or comrade. 
May you comfort them and place within them
your peace that goes beyond all human understanding. 

We pray for all who are in leadership positions,
that they may turn to you seeking your will and wisdom
as they guide this nation.

We pray for your protection for those who are still serving on land, in the air, and on the sea, not only physically,
but for their mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being too.  As it says in America the Beautiful,
may the success of their efforts be nobleness
and every gain divine. 
For those who have returned home
shattered by the visions and memories of war
may you bring healing and wholeness back into their lives.

Bless our young people,
may they never experience the ugliness of war
or the depths of cruelty to which humans can sink. 
Should they encounter evil,
protect their souls from giving into evil
and guide them in your ways
so that they may be a part of the healing of the nations. 

We pray for those places around the world
where war, oppression, and violence
are a very present reality. 
May you break  hearts of stone
and fill hearts with your life giving love
so that one day all may live in peace. 
Amen
