HAVE YOU CAUGHT ANY PEOPLE FOR CHRIST
 
Dear Snyder's Church Family and Friends,
 
This coming Sunday assuming that we are not "stormed out" we shall read St. Matthew 3: 1 -3; 4: 12 - 17, 23 - 25.
The sermon title is "Repaint!" with Pastor Jeff preaching.
We shall sing "It Ia Well With My Soul"; "What A Friend We Have In Jesus"; "Great Is Thy Faithfulness." plus other music selected for the service.
Jeff will lead the Children's Moment and our choir will provide special music.
We do extend a cordial welcome to each of you.
 
We have several who enjoy fishing in our church family so this story will appeal to them also. Have you been fishing lately? Have you caught any people for Jesus? If you are a typical mainline Christian of any sort the answer probably is a shrug of the shoulders and a bewildered look.
 
"He can't be serious, can he?" may be the question you sk. A few years ago there were some statistics floating around in church circles. If you take a middle aged church member who has attended church regularly most of his/her life, by the age of fifty they would have listened to 160 sermons, sung 5280 hymns, placed money in the offering plate about 1500 times and never introduced another person to Jesus Christ.
 
True - most of us if asked, can't remember ever talking to a non-believer about our faith. We just don't do that sort of thing. We haven't done much fishing! How sad indeed.
 
We in the Global Methodist Church are serious about introducing people to Jesus as Lord and Savior and we invite you to join with us in this journey.
May God truly bless you today and may you truly bless others in Jesus' name.
Here's hoping to see you in church this Sunday morning, of course weather permitting!
God loves you and so do we.
Pastor Bill
