Today also marks the 8th anniversary of the fire, caused by lightning, that took our old church building. On July 19, 2012, the path of our church family was uncertain, and we had no way to know what the future would hold. Yet we rebuilt, grew, and kept moving forward. God brought us through that time of great uncertainty, stronger on the other side. Just as He was with us then, He is also with us now through today's time of uncertainty, and once again He will guide us to be stronger on the other side.

Thanks, and have a great week!

Every Memorial Day, we take time to reflect on those who have served our country and since passed on. We're eternally grateful to those who, across the generations, have made countless sacrifices to protect our nation and the people they loved.
This is a list of the names of the veterans who are no longer with us and were part of our church community.
If there are any names missing from this list, please let me know and I'll be happy to add them in.

Thanks, and have a great week!

A Message from Pastor Don for March 15, 2020

Due to the current circumstances, Summit UMC will not be meeting in person for worship services tomorrow. However, we encourage you to watch this video message from Pastor Don and spend some time tomorrow in worship with your family.

You can find resources, Scripture, and ideas to contemplate for tomorrow in the United Methodist Church lectionary, at this link: UMC Discipleship Ministries: Selah, Life in a Minor Key

Worship on the Web

Earlier this year, Summit UMC started to use Facebook Live to create weekly live streams of Pastor Don's sermons during our Sunday morning worship services. Being able to create and share these videos has been such a blessing to our community because it's allowed us to share God's Word and our Sunday fellowship with everyone, including those who may not be able to join us in person on Sundays. We hope that these videos, which we've posted on the new Summit UMC YouTube channel, will continue to help us reach out to others. Please feel free to view and share!
