If you are unable to join us by ZOOM for worship I am posting the Worship Script to Worship Script for your personal use.  Currently posted is the 05/09  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 for now will be required to wear face coverings, remain socially distanced.  If you are not feeling well stay home.  We will also be taking names for contact tracing should we discover a case of Covid 19.  Whether you choose to worship in-person or remotely, please remember to stay connected.  If you are hurting, reach out for help.  If you are doing well reach out to others and let them know you care.  Together, with the help and guidance of God, we will get through this time of trial; hopefully emerging even better for having gone through this and the lessons learned.

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.

Happy May Day!

Oh My Goodness, where has the year disappeared?  Can you believe we are already entering into the fifth month of 2021?  In the first letter of John we hear these words,  "Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. … No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us. … God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them.  … We love because he first loved us." 
(1 John 4:7, 12, 16b, 19)
As a child, I had heard about May Day Baskets, and maybe made some in school and brought them home to my parents, but never did I ever drop one off at a neighbor, ring the doorbell and run.  As an adult, a retired couple who lived across the street from us did that very thing and dropped off baskets for my children whom they embraced as an important part of their lives.  From then on there was a reciprocity every May Day between them and my children of dropping off May Day Baskets, ringing the doorbell and dashing off.  Such a simple act, but underneath it all was a reaching out to extend and receive the gift of love.

God of love, help us always to extend to others
the simplest acts of love so that others will know
the blessings of your love through our lives. 
When we are struggling, may our eyes be opened
to your love being extended to us
through simple acts of kindness and provisions
being sent our way.
​Amen!
