THIS WEEK'S SERVICE


"Balancing Act -

Noticing God "


Isaiah 40:21-31


Rev. Dr. Charles Baier

Worship Leader

"Whom do you trust? Whom do you fear? Who rules this world, anyway? These are the questions floating in the background of Isaiah's words of comfort to an exciled Isreal. Shifting empires created a sense of instability; Babylon had conquered Isreal but Persia was waiting in the wings for their moment of military glory. Isreal was caught between world powers. It seemed that their fate would rest in the hands of others." (Scott Bader-Saye)

NEXT WEEK'S SERVICE


"Don't Let Worry Win...

Let Faith Arise "

Hebrews 11:8


Rev. John Illian

Worship Leader

This is the third in a series of six messages on The Balancing Act...balancing all of life's competing demands. In this series we have acknowledged that balancing all the stuff around us begins with balancing what is inside us...in our interior life, in our life with God. The focus of this week's daily devotions and this worship service is on Courage...finding the courage to not let worry win, but to let faith arise as we seek to be the person Christ has called and created us to be.

Wonderful opportunities for work and play abound in our lovely community. Young workers, professionals, families, and those who find our area a friendly retirement location lead full and busy lives. Summit is a major transportation hub and commuters in our community juggle work in one location and home in another.

Our church is literally central to Summit. Located downtown and across the street from the train station, we faithfully proclaim the love of Jesus Christ as we have for the past 130+ years. You will recognize our building as the large stone church with the dark red doors and Tiffany stained-glass windows on the corner of Maple Street and Morris Avenue. Come inside and hear our great choirs and inspiring preaching. Bring your kids to our much-loved programs for children and youth or our thriving nursery school. Learn about our generous mission programs that help others at home and far away.

We have a warm welcome and a vital faith to share. Come visit. Connections classes for prospective new members take place regularly. There is plenty of room for you in this family of faith. We want to be Central to you, too.
