Even after Thanksgiving, we are grateful!
This update is from our monthly email newsletter
Dear SUMMIT Family,
Around the Thanksgiving table with family yesterday, someone sang the refrain "Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good. His love endures forever!" Turns out there's a bunch of places in the Bible where that comes from! In 1 Chronicles 16, King David encourages the leaders of his people to recount their past season in song:
7 Then on that day David first appointed that thanksgiving be sung...
8 "Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples!
9 Sing to him, sing praises to him;
tell of all his wondrous works!
...
34 Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
His love endures forever."
(1 Chronicles 16)
Reflection + humble perspective = gratitude you can't help but share
So much good has been happening here at SUMMIT. In the last month alone,
We held our first Pocket Wilderness Intensive, & boy was it a POWERFUL time. God showed up & met each of the attendees exactly where they needed. We're seeing the value of this type of intimate program & have put another men's only program on the calendar, as well as women's only, & co-ed PWI events.
We equipped 12 people with life-saving skills through CPR, First Aid, & AED certifications.
We trained 30 parents & childcare workers in child behavior motivators.
Our Core Team has been through challenges at home that have bonded us together in prayer for one another.
We have been a nonprofit in the State of TX since March, and now our 501(c)3 application is in progress.
It's amazing to see where God is taking SUMMIT in this first year of ministry, so I wanted to be sure to share them with you!
Between the family, food, or festivities you may have going on this week, I hope you too get a chance to spend a moment stopping to reflect on the past season & sharing gratitude with someone you love.
