“Your Invitation” by Bill Herald


Today is the first Sunday of the “New Year.” Today is January 2, 2022.   Have you made any resolutions?  Why don’t you start the new year out with your brothers and sisters? Today is our first fellowship meal of the new year, let me extend an open Invitation to have lunch with us this morning, instead of going to Frisch’s or Wendy’s.  If your resolution was to diet, I brought a big salad!  Don’t feel bad if you didn’t bring anything because we usually have plenty of food, so that we are able to invite our visitors.

Summit’s theme for this year is Family.  We want everyone to feel at home at Summit and to be part of our family.  Let’s start today to be a bigger part of each other’s lives, to know each other better. We all have different gifts and abilities!  As a family we need to know each other’s weaknesses, strengths, and abilities. That cannot be accomplished unless we spend time with each other.  Joining us for the fellowship meal today is a good way to start.  If we look at the group of believers in Acts 2, they had everything in common with each other and “ATE” together.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!  Psalm 133:1

We had a great new year eve’s get together at the Guin’s (thanks for your hospitality) we played games and got to know each other better througg fellowship.  Then we started the new year together in song and prayer to our Lord and Savior. 

Brothers and Sisters, Let’s start the new year out right.  Challenge yourself to speak with someone different each service you attend.  Call or text someone in the congregation and let them know you are thinking of them, praying for them.  Make plans to meet for coffee or invite them to dinner.  Let’s keep 2022 on a great path!

You can start TODAY by eating with your church family!
