Vision Sunday
What is a church supposed to do? Throughout our church's history, we have been reminded of answers to this question. In the early days of Summit, we decided that we weren't going to wait for the "right time" to be a church, that we could be the Church in our present time. We also decided that we weren't going to settle for being just about us, that we wanted to always be inviting others to experience God's grace. We decided to be a church that serves our world, in the broad sense and in the spaces God placed us. We recognized that any amount of pain or failure would not limit God's faithfulness to us. And we were constantly amazed by the incredible reality of individual transformations through the grace of God. This year, as we remember where we have come from and look ahead to where we are going, we remember who God is. And we remember who we are in him.
