FRIENDS IN LOW PLACES
 
Dear Snyder's Church Family and Friends,
 
This coming Sunday the Scripture lesson will be St. Matthew 9: ;9 - 13; 18 - 26 and the sermon title is "Called And Restored."
We shall sing "Jesus Loves Even Me"; "Close To Thee";
"Be Not Dismayed" and other music selected for the service.
Jeff will tell another Children's story.
We shall conclude our Service with Holy Communion.
 
Years ago the country western singer Garth Brooks [a favorite of mine] had a hit song titled "I've Got Friends In Low Places." It's the story of a young man whose girlfriend dumped him to marry and older and wealthier man. The young man shows up at her wedding, but he doesn't have the right clothes or behavior and so he stomps off in anger to join his hard-living friends, telling her, "I've got friends in low places, where the whiskey flows and the beer chases the blues away...."
Raucous words of course but set to a powerful melody.
 
I've often thought as I've listened to the song on the radio that with a slight change these words could apply to God-in-Christ. "He's got friends in low places." Perhaps even "He's got friends in low places, where the mercy flows and the free grace is for you and me......"
 
 
Snyder's Church is here to help you find that grace and peace.....and we invite you to be with us this Sunday.
Then Monday thru Friday 8:45 to 11:30 AM NEXT WEEK we will have our Vacation Bible School for children 3 through 9th grade.
Plan to be with us.
May you truly be blessed today and may you truly also be a blessing to others in the name of Christ.
God loves you very much and so do we. 
Pastor Bill
