REST
 
Dear Snyder's Church Family and Friends,
 
We continue as a Pentecost People of Faith and invite you to share in the Good News of Jesus with us this coming Sunday.
The scripture reading will be St. Mark 6: 30 - 34; 53 - 56 and the theme is "Send Them Away!" We will sing "Blessed Assurance";
God Of Grace And God Of Glory" along with other music selected for the service. Sandy Graeff will share the Children's Moment to which Adults can listen to and are encouraged to do so!
 
The Sabbath is a day of rest and we all need a day of rest. It reminds me of the story that I heard where one man challenged another to an all-day wood chopping contest. The challenger worked very hard, stopping only for a brief lunch break. The other man had a leisurely lunch and took several breaks during the day. At the end of the day, the challenger was surprised and annoyed to find that the other fellow had chopped substantially more wood than he had.
 
"I don't get it, every time I checked, you were taking a rest, yet you chopped more wood than I did" said the challenger.
"But you didn't notice that I was sharpening my ax when I sat down to rest" said the winning woodsman.
 
We invite you to come and "get your ax sharpened" as we Worship together this Sunday.
May you truly be blessed today and may you also truly be a blessing to others.
Here's hoping to greet you in church this Sunday.
God truly loves you and so do we. 
God bless,
Pastor Bill
