Transition Time

This week, we'd like to wish our pastor, Brother Don, a happy retirement. Brother Don has been our pastor at Summit UMC since 2004, and now he has decided to retire. He has served our church to the best of his ability and we appreciate his efforts and support through the years. 

Tonight, our Pastor-Parish Relations (PPR) committee will find out who will take over for Brother Don as our next pastor. We're very excited to meet our new preacher and welcome him even as we say goodbye to Brother Don. 

We'll certainly miss Brother Don, but we also hope for an even brighter future. 

"But we must always thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God has chosen you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and through belief in the truth. 

He called you to this through our gospel, so that you might obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions you were taught, either by our message or by our letter. 

May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal encouragement and good hope by grace, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good work and word."
