Today is Mother’s Day so I would like to say “Happy Mother's Day” to all the mothers! We are so blessed with so many great examples of motherhood in this congregation. The ladies here at Summerdale, are such great role models for our young women and girls in this congregation. When I think of the examples in the Bible of Godly Mothers, the first one that comes to mind is Moses’s mother. Although we do not know her name, we know that she trusted the Lord and hid Moses so he wo

Wednesday, in the teen class, we started a series looking at the ten plagues of Egypt found in Exodus. As the story goes, God told Moses to go before Pharaoh and tell him “Let My people go!”. Every time Pharaoh would agree at first but then harden his heart and make the people stay in Egypt. Each time God would bring another plague until finally following the death of the first-born Pharaoh finally relented and let the children of Israel go. But even after that he changed his

Last Sunday night, in the teen class we launched our theme for the rest of the year. In 1st Timothy 4:12 Paul tells us “Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity”. This morning, we continued our series “Young People of Faith” by looking at Jeremiah and how at first, he questioned God when he was called because of his youth but God told him exactly what Paul was teaching Timothy. Jeremiah went on

Last Sunday morning, in our Teen class, we started a series called “Young People of Faith”. This morning, we talked about Joseph and how through his faith he endured many hardships throughout his life. Whether it was living with his brothers who hated him for his wild dreams, being thrown into a pit and later sold into slavery or sent to prison on a false accusation, Joseph never strayed from God and trusted Him to take care of him. Joseph always stayed true to God and even w

We are truly honored and can not wait to get started. We have prayed for this and know that God is going to do great things here at Summerdale. I wanted to just take a moment to introduce myself and tell you a little more about me. I grew up in Mobile, Al and have been a member of the Lord’s churc
