Summit Youth kicked off the new school year this past Wednesday night with over 40 people in attendance! Youth Ministry Director Dawn Lewis spoke on September's topic of Identity and compared what the world says about us versus what God says about us based on 1 Peter 2:9. As Christians we are called chosen, holy, royal, intermediaries, spokespeople, and treasured by the King of all kings! No one is above God so shouldn't we define ourselves by what He says instead of what society says or even what we say about ourselves? The students could really relate to this and one even gave her life to Christ. Praise God! What a way to kick off the 2019-2020 year!

Upcoming Events
Thursdays 6:30 - 7:05 AM
Sept 14, Upper Room Night
The upper room is a place where Jesus shows His disciples His love. On the eve of Passover, he washed their feet, broke bread with them, and prepared them for the days ahead. After His resurrection, He met them there. And on Pentecost, as they prayed, He sent them the “Promise of the Father” - the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Upper Room Night is a time set aside for fellowship with Jesus, teaching in an interactive setting, and receiving and expressing the Holy Spirit. Both adults and students, church members and guests, are welcome.
Sept. 15, 12 PM, Back to School Bingo
Join us for lunch and bingo! Everyone is welcome to stay and eat and play six games of bingo. The suggested donation for pizza will be $1.00 per slice. Water, tea, and lemonade will be provided. Bingo is FREE to everyone who would like to play. Small prizes will be given out to the first five winners of each game. There will also be a grand prize drawing for a mystery bag! Contact Teresa Bray to RSVP and/or to help.
Sept. 19th, City Wide Prayer Focus
As part of our commitment to the Citywide Prayer network, Celebration has agreed to pray for the Metro area on the 19th of every month. This month’s prayer focus is "Media". There is a sense in which properly functioning media serves as the eyes, ears and voice of a nation, and as such carries a powerful influence in society and culture. How vital for these eyes, ears, and voices to function with integrity and wisdom; otherwise the culture descends into increasing darkness, bitterness, and division. For a list of scriptures and prayer points follow the link HERE.
