Summit News!
A WORD FROM BRO. JOE,
Hey, Summit family,
As I write my weekly email to you, today, I’m thrilled to bring you some exciting news! This past Sunday afternoon I met with Summit’s “Executive Committee” to present a recommendation from Pastor John and me that we extend a call to Pastor Peter Abood to join our church staff as “Pastor Of Worship”. They “unanimously”, and “enthusiastically”, approved, and Peter has said, “yes”! We all feel this will be a great blessing to our church body! We have many wonderful people already involved in the music ministry at Summit, and they will all continue to be involved, under Peter’s direction. Specifically, Jeff, who has been playing the piano, will move to electronic keyboards. He and Peter have served together before and have a wonderful relationship. They have great love and respect for one another, as do all of our musicians. John and I are very happy to have this opportunity of “partnering” with Peter. He is extremely gifted in numerous areas and is someone I had the privilege of pastoring with, daily, for 14 years. Peter, and his wife Debbie, have served The Lord’s Church in the greater Wichita area for 27 years. John, and his wife Debbie have served here for 20 years, and Lois and I came to this community in 1987. All of us feel privileged to be in Kansas, and have built many wonderful relationships through the years. But, this will be the first time we’ve, all six, been in the same congregation! We are excited about the future God has planned for us!! Help us get the word out that we’re here to serve The Lord Jesus Christ, and His body of believers! Help us get the message out that “Jesus is the friend of sinners“ and everyone is welcome! Celebrate with us that we’re a nondenominational church of “Christians Only”, where there is no creed but Christ, and no book but The Bible! And, most importantly, we love The Lord, and each other! Frankly, that’s the most frequent comment I receive about Summit; “it’s the most loving church I’ve ever attended”! Nothing could please me more. The Bride Of Christ (The Church) was built on the greatest love ever expressed, and to be pleasing to God she must always express that love in everything she does!
This Sunday morning I leave to lead my 17th tour to “The Holy Land”. Sixteen of us are going to Israel for 10 days, and then to Egypt for 4, before returning to Wichita Sunday evening, March 8th. Please pray for our safe travel. Pastor John will be preaching the next three Sundays, and I know you will be blessed, encouraged, and challenged by his messages! Invite many to join you for services at Summit. Have a fantastic “Jesus Filled” week! Love always, Bro. Joe
