The past two weeks have been spent preparing temporary accommodation and gathering everything the families might need.

Can you commit this year to being intentional about passing your faith on to future generations?

Merry Christmas Summitview family + friends!
Now as you celebrate your Christmas, perhaps you’ll spend time with others who are challenging to be around. Remember the story of Silent Night and the Christmas Truce of 1914. And take time personally or as a family to pray for peace with those close to you and our world at large. Pray also for a spirit of generosity that reflects God’s generous heart shown through Christmas, through the famous John 3:16 I believe this inspiring WWI story gives us a small glimpse of the peace of the kingdom that would come through the baby born in Bethlehem, the Prince of Peace, the son that was given.
This Christmas season at Summitview, we are using classic songs from Christmas to remind ourselves of the most joy-giving truths given to mankind. In addition to the sermons each week, we will be sharing weekly devotionals. We will share the stories of common Christmas songs and how they remind us of those truths.
For those interested in going deeper in this, read Micah 5:2 and Luke 2:1-7, considering the smallness and ordinariness of Bethlehem for Jesus’ birth. As the song says, “Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light. The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.” We hope that you will join us for Christmas Eve Service, this Friday, December 24th at 4:30 p.m. either in person or via our livestream!
