A HERO GOES HOME.
This last month, our house of Summit Church got the blessed privilege to honor a very pillar of our church and a vital part of Summit's history. After decades of devoted ministry to the members of this church, his friends, his amazing family and his beautiful wife, our very humble, most loved and cherished Tal Klaus went home to the very arms of the Savior, whom he so loved with all of his heart, soul and being.
There are not enough words to record all that he had done for the people of our house, serving as one of our Pastors, along with his beautiful bride Dee.
All of us at some point experienced his loving counsel, his teaching, his extreme generosity and above all else his unswerving passion for Jesus.
Back in 1989, he and his wife, Dee decided to take their retirement and spend the rest of their lives in ministry and devotion to loving people for God. So many people would not be where they are today if not for Pastors Tal and Dee.
You both have our hearts, our tears, our prayers and our very deep deep admiration for what it means to run your race WELL.
We will see you again, Pastor Tal. 🥹❤️🤲🏻
