FROM TWELVE TO ONE BILLION!
 
Dear Snyder's Church Family and Friends,
 
This coming Sunday we shall read St. Matthew 9: 35 - 10:8 and the sermon title is "Work And Labor!"
We shall sing "Jesus Loves Even Me"; "I Am Thine O Lord";
"I'd Rather Have Jesus" and other music selected for the service.
One or two of the VBS songs will also be sung.
Jeff will share another story for the children's time.
Plan to be with us.
 
From the twelve, the group grew to 120 by Ascension Day. A little over a week later, on Pentecost, it increased to over 3,000. By the time the last of the twelve died, there was an estimated half-million followers of Jesus Christ. That was the end of the first century.
 
By the end of the second Century, this number had increased to almost ten million. By the end of the third Century, all heathen temples were destroyed or converted into church sanctuaries. By the close of the ninth Century there were 100 million Christians.
 
Today the number has grown to over one billion believers around the world. None of this growth would have been possible had Christians not been excited and supportive of missions or prayed to the
"Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."
 
We invite you and encourage you to join the fellowship of believers and we welcome you at Snyder's Church.
May you truly have a blessed day and may you also truly be a blessing to others.
God loves you and so do we.
Pastor Bill
