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 and  we have a multiracial Sunday School class of around 10 children.  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 Lord the Shepherd of His People
A Psalm of David.
23 The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.
Psalm 23 (NKJV)

“This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one."
Matthew 6:9-13 (NIV)

Memorized Prayer
Memorized Prayer can be a great tool in our spiritual tool box.  Above I have shared two very common memorized prayers from scripture but there are many other memorized prayers we use in our lives such as table graces, bedtime prayers, the Doxology and Gloria Patri to name a few.  nfortunately memorized prayer also can become an empty ritual when we pray those words with out giving any thought or meaning to them and are devoid of any benefit or meaning.  But when we truly hear the words we are praying and mean them we are drawn into the presence of God in ways that allow us to thank, praise, appreciate, and trust God.  It may even give us a better understanding of who we are as children of God and inspire us to seek God's will in what we say and do.  May we allow memorized prayer to be the blessing it is meant to be.
