2020 Year in Review
As we reflect back on this year, it’s truly sobering to think of all the challenges and trials that we as individuals and as a community of faith have faced together. The world has been shaken by natural disasters and a global pandemic affecting millions of people. Our own nation has faced civil unrest, violence, and divisive political discord. Many of us have had to make difficult decisions about employment, about our children’s education, and of course about the health of our families, parents, neighbors and friends.
It would not be surprising in the least if we found ourselves weary and worn. Life has been hard. The brokenness and sin in the world and in ourselves is evident.
And still, as a church family, if we think back, there is so much evidence of God’s faithfulness to us.
He’s been our Father, holding us close as we trust Him in the uncertainties of life. And He’s been our faithful God, providing insight, wisdom, abundant resources, and transforming lives through the gospel of Jesus Christ. We’ve seen men and women delivered from addiction. We’ve prayed with people to receive Christ. Dozens of people have chosen to be baptized. Community Groups have grown. Vulnerable children have found loving homes. Hungry people have been fed. And God has been worshipped, online and in-person. He has truly been a Faithful God and a Faithful Father. We hope you are encouraged by this reminder of the goodness and faithfulness of God. He has been good to Summit Church. And if you are in Christ, he has been good to you. Let’s respond with thanksgiving and open-handedness, with worship, singing and praise. Let’s respond by pressing deeper into intimacy with our faithful God and Father.
