Next week we will honor Summit’s 10 graduates.  We have 6 high school seniors that are planning their future by going to college or starting their career (Joel Devadason, Natalie Eastham, Carter Guin, Faith Krebs, Benjamin Painter & Nathan Schaefer).  There are 2 students that have earned their college degree (Jenna Painter & Leah Schaefer), and 2 who just received their Masters Degree (Andrew Ellis & Sarah Webster).

I have been blessed to witness eight of the graduates grow up in the Church at Summit.  First I would like to congratulate the parents of every one of these graduates.  I know you have had a huge impact on their lives.  You should be very proud.  I am glad to say the Church of tomorrow is in good hands!  The Lord has blessed this group with so many abilities!  Some have great athletic ability, using their skills in basketball, baseball, football, or gymnastics.  Others are good at public speaking or have a servant’s heart.  My Prayer is you always use this ability to bring others to Christ, that they may see Jesus in your lives.  When you look back, you can see how the Lord has blessed you and has kept you from a serious injury.  Now may you always be a team player on the Lord’s team.  All of our male graduates have been blessed with the ability to lead
singing, preach, and to lead the worship in a public way.

Many will be away from home for the first time and my prayer for all of you is to:

-Always remain faithful to the Lord (Acts 11:23)

-Always submit yourself to the Lord (James 4:7)

-Always draw close to God and God will draw close to you (James 4:8)

-Remember the Lord is your strength and your shield (protector)  (Psalms 28:7)

May God Bless you all as you begin this new chapter in your lives.
