HAVING LOST ALL, ALL IS FOUND
 
Dear Snyder's Church Family and Friends,
 
What will the weather be like this week-end - another storm or not?
We are so sorry to have had to close down the last two Sunday mornings due to ice and snow but for safety reasons it was the right choice.
We are hoping that all will be well this Sunday and that we will see Snyder's Church filled with God loving and serving people!
Plan to join us.
Jeff is going to preach this Sunday the full message he would have preached last week if we had been open. "Repaint!"
and Scriptures of St. Matthew 3: 1 - 3; 4: 12 - 17, 23 - 25.
We will continue to sing Darryl's favorite hymns that we missed.
"It Is Well With My Soul"; "What A Friend We Have In Jesus";
"Great Is Thy Faithfulness."
There will be other special music as well.
Jeff will share with the children and Bill promises to bring his
child-hood "Teddy Bear" to share as well!
 
During this past week I was reading some selections from Dietrich Bonhoeffer, "The Cost Of Discipleship." Here is what I read as he is writing about the Beatitudes in Matthew 5 : 1 - 12. Linda and I have been on the Mount of Beatitudes many times and this is a good reflection of that memory.
 
Bonhoeffer writes: "Having reached the end of the Beatitudes, we naturally ask if there is any place on this earth for the community which they describe. Clearly, there is one place, and only one, and that is where the Poorest, Meekest, and most sorely Tried of all men is to be found - on the cross at Golgotha. The community which is the subject of the Beatitudes is the community of the crucified. With Him it has lost all, and with Him it has found all."
 
Join with us this week as we find it all with Jesus!
May you truly be blessed today and may you also truly be a blessing to others.
God loves you and so do we and here's hoping to greet you in Church this Sunday morning. 
Pastor Bill
