FIRST NATIONAL THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
 
Dear Snyder's Church Family and Friends,
 
This coming Sunday is Thanksgiving Sunday and our Scripture lesson will be Ephesians 5: 15 - 21.
The sermon title is "We Are Thankful OR Are We?"
We shall sing "Precious Lord Take My Hand"; "Come Ye Thankful People Come"; "Softly And Tenderly" plus other music selected for the service.
Our choir will sing.
Jeff will finish this series of Children's Moments on "Heaven" and an invitation is given to all to attend.
 
In 1779 George Washington wrote these words: "Whereas, it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; Whereas, both the houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me "to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness!"
 
"Now therefore, I do recommend next, to be devoted by the people of the states to the service of that great and glorious being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be, that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country."
 
As a people of faith we need to be present in the House of the Lord and this is our invitation to you to join us at Snyder's Church this week.
May God truly bless you today and may you truly be a blessing to others as well. 
Pastor Bill
