Lenten Worship and Study
Begin Lent by joining with other Summit members as we attend the Ash Wednesday Service at the First Presbyterian Church of Germantown, 35 Chelten Avenue (between Germantown and Greene) on February 17th at 7:30. Many of us went last year and it was a lovely way to begin Lenten Observances.
Our Lenten evening “Bread and Broth” series will begin on Wednesday, February 24th in the parlor from 6:30- 8:00 and continue on Wednesdays through March 24th. The theme of our Lenten reflection this year is Deepening Relationships. In the book Unbinding the Gospel that the Session is reading, the author talks about the “Trinity of Relationships” in every church: the relationships we have with God, the relationships we have with each other, and the relationships we have with those outside of the church. We will focus on the second: deepening relationships with each other through prayer, sharing stories, and various exercises - (never be asked to share more than you are comfortable doing). We hope to have fun as well as deepen our connection to each other and to God. Calendar Note: Palm Sunday is March 28th and Easter is April 4. We will have a Maundy Thursday Tenebrae service on April 1st at 7:00 p.m. Wednesday Evening Bible Study
Join us for a series on “The Sermon on the Mount and the Plain,” where we will reflect on the beatitudes and other teachings of Jesus as they come to us through the gospels of Matthew and Luke. We’ll meet on Wednesdays at 7:30 in the Board Room, EXCEPT for the second week of the series, when we will meet on Thursday the 14th (rather than Wednesday the 13th). All are welcome! Led by Cheryl Pyrch.

What is the Pastoral Discretionary Fund? Especially in these tough economic times, members and friends often face financial challenges for which they need a helping hand: a job loss, the need to find a new home, an unexpected medical expense or family emergency. The Pastor’s Fund is a way for the church to help while maintaining confidentiality, since gifts are made at the discretion of the pastor. The fund is replenished through the budget process and through pastor honorariums for weddings or funerals. Designated gifts may also be made to this fund. If you are facing a financial hardship, please don’t hesitate to speak to Cheryl.
