A WEAPON TERRIBLE TO BEHOLD
 
Dear Snyder's Church Family and Friends,
 
This Sunday is Ascension Sunday and we shall read St. Luke 24: 44 - 53 and the sermon title is "The Words Of Jesus Again!"
We shall sing "Precious Lord Take My Hand"; "I Love To Tell The Story"; "I Surrender All" plus other music chosen for the service.
Jeff will lead the Children's Moment and there will be special music by the choir.
 
As you know Charlie Brown stories are some of my favorite. In one of the Peanuts Cartoons, Lucy comes into the living room to find Linus in control of the TV. She demands that he change the channel.
"What makes you think you can walk right in here and take over?"
asks LInus.
 
"These five fingers" says Lucy. "Individually they are nothing, but when I curl them together like this into a single unit, they form a weapon that is terrible to behold."
 
"Which channel do you want?" asks Linus.
 
Turning away, he looks at his fingers and says "Why can't you guys get organized like that?"
 
The Ascension of Jesus comes as he continues to prepare the Disciples for what their mission will be when He returns to God.
That mission is our mission today to get people to walk humbly with God and to know that His purpose for us is to live wholesome lives with God as our Father.
 
We at Snyder's Church are here to help you in that mission.
We hope to see you this Sunday morning and then right after church we have our annual spring picnic - come and join us for the fun and fellowship, we'd love to welcome you.
May you truly be blessed today and may you truly be a blessing to others in the name of Christ.
God loves you and so do we!
Pastor Bill
