Remembering

Summit has always been a church that honors our past. 

Before our previous building burned, we had the names of donors on the stained glass windows, the pews, and even a few doors. We respect the people who gave their time, effort, and hearts to our little church, and we will treasure their memories always. Even though our old church is gone, the memories we have of it and the people who attended it are still with us---as close to us as the reflections of light from the windows. 

Thanks to Glenn's family for providing this photo of him!
One of the people we'd like to remember and honor is Glenn Hammons. Glenn has passed away, but his family continues to be an important part of our church family, and in his memory, they donated a beautiful cross to our little church. 

Those who loved him---his wife Bennie Lou and his son Ernest--- said, "Glenn enjoyed going to Summit to church.  He had a lot of good friends that went there.  His funeral was held in the church that burned and it was beautiful service." 

We're very thankful to Glenn and his family for all that they have done for our church, and we're thankful that their memories will live on for as long as our congregation is together!
