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. E-Mail: click here to send us a message |

“Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me fast. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and night wraps itself around me,” even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day, for darkness is as light to you.” Psalm 139:7-12 Though it is often true, the times we are most likely to turn to God are when times are tough, this psalm reminds us that God is with us in good times and in times of struggle; when we are walking in the ways of God and when we wander off to do our own thing, God is there to lead and guide us. We cannot hide from God, nor can we be hidden from God. Many years ago, I learned a song that was taught to a youth group I had been assisting in leading titled, “On a Day Like This”. I have used this song many times throughout my life, but before we sing it, I ask everyone what kind of day they are having and I always get a variety of answers. Then I proclaim that no matter what kind of day they are having, this song is true for it proclaims, “On a day like this, O, I need the Lord to help me.” Lent, though never mentioned in the Bible, I believe is a God given gift from our Still Speaking God. Though every day is the perfect time to draw near to God and be strengthened by God, Lent is a gift to us in that it specifically draws attention to our need to draw near to God and to rely on God and God’s wisdom and ways. This Lent and beyond, may we draw nearer to God no matter what kind of day we are having. Prayer: Search us, God, and know our heart; test us and know our anxious thoughts See if there is any offensive way in us, and lead us in the way everlasting. Adapted from (Psalm 139:23-24) |
