We all know the kid’s song, “This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine.”

“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:14 and 16

The next verse says,” Don’t let Satan blow it out, I’m going to let it shine.”  I am afraid Satan may be winning the battle of letting our light shine.  Covid has hurt the Lord’s church; when I talk to other leaders, they all say we are not back to our numbers before covid.  We are still missing several of our members over the last 3 years.  Bible study, fellowship with, and encouragement from other Christians is important to keep our light burning.  It is the fuel we need to help us share our light with others around us.

If you were just married, had your first child, or found a cure for cancer, would you not want to share with everyone that you know your good news?  We have THE good news about Jesus Christ, who came to seek and save the lost, and to give us life more abundantly!  Is your light always shining or do you keep it “under a bushel” to pick and choose when you share Jesus with others?

Brothers and Sisters, we are proud of Summit, and we are ready to tell the world!  We will be putting the Summit name on the front of the building.  Daryl and I are in the process of getting this done and upgrading our little sign with more eye-catching graphics so people know who the little church on the hill is.  We have just signed up for House to House, a publication of our beliefs that will go out monthly to everyone in Alexandria, Cold Spring and Highland Heights.  That means everyone moving into the new subdivision at Arcadia will receive this.  We want everyone passing the building on 27 and the rest of the community to know that we are Christians by our love! We want to be a light for the community and share God’s love.

But Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a Holy nation, a peculiar people, that ye should “SHOW FORTH” the praise of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous Light. 1 Peter 2:9

Let it shine, Let it shine, Let it shine, all the time!
