HUMILITY IN ACTION
 
Dear Snyder's Church Family and Friends,
 
This coming Sunday we shall read St. Matthew 23: 1 - 12
and the sermon title is "Do What Jesus Teaches You!"
We shall sing "Sweet Sweet Spirit"; "Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind"; "He Touched Me" and other music selected for the Service.
Jeff will share the Children's Moment.
We shall conclude our Service with Holy Communion.
 
One of the best stories of humility that I know is that of a man who arrived in 1953 at the Chicago railroad station to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. He stepped off the train, a tall man with bushy hair and
a big mustache. As the cameras flashed and city officials approached with hands outstretched to meet him, he thanked them politely.
 
Then he asked to be excused for a minute. He walked through the crowd to the side of an elderly black woman struggling with two large suitcases. He picked them up, smiled, and escorted her to the bus, helped her get on, and wished her a safe journey.
 
Then Albert Schweitzer turned to the crowd and apologized for keeping them waiting. It is reported that one member of the reception committee told a reporter, "That's the first time I ever saw a sermon walking."
 
We've been given a great task - to live in harmony, to weep with the mournful, to laugh with the joyful, to not be conceited. Especially we are called to be righteous, but not self-righteous. We are to be humble.
 
Join us in this act of humility at Snyder's Church.
Know that God loves you and so do we.
Have a blessed day today and may you also be a blessing to others.
See you in Church this Sunday morning!
