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.

Freedom
With Independence Day upon us I thought I would just share some quotes and scriptures about freedom that give me inspiration and I pray they inspire you as well.

 It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don’t use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that’s how freedom grows. For everything we know about God’s Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That’s an act of true freedom. If you bite and ravage each other, watch out—in no time at all you will be annihilating each other, and where will your precious freedom be then?
(Galatians 5:13-15 MSG)

For to be free is not merely to cast off ones chains
but to live in a way that respects and enhances
the freedom of others.
(Nelson Mandela)

 You see, God did not give us a cowardly spirit
but a powerful, loving, and disciplined spirit.
(2 Timothy 1:7 The VOICE)

He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.
Aristotle

I can hear some of you saying,
“For me, all things are permitted.”
But face the facts: all things are not beneficial. 
So you say, “For me, all things are permitted.” 
Here’s my response: 
I will not allow anything to control me.
(1 Corinthians 6:12 The VOICE)

Let us not satisfy our thirst for freedom
by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
Martin Luther King Jr.

Live like free people, but don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do evil. Live as those who are serving God.  Show respect for all people. Love your brothers and sisters in God’s family. Respect God, and honor the king.
(1 Peter 2:16-17 ERV)

Those who deny others freedom,
deserve it not for themselves.
(Abraham Lincoln)

But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.  Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
(2 Corinthians 3:16-18 NIV)

God of All Creation,
this Independence Day,
help us to ponder what true freedom means; 
then live in that freedom.
