GOD CHANGES US
 
Dear Snyder's Church Family and Friends,
 
We invite you to join us this Sunday morning.
Jeff is leading the Service with Scriptures St. Luke 11: 1 - 13
and will preach on the subject "Teach Us To Pray!"
We will sing "This Is The Day"; "Amazing Grace"; "It Took A Miracle" and other music selected for the service.
Jeff will also lead the children's moment and the choir will provide special music.
 
Perhaps you have heard the story of the mother who sent her fifth grade boy up to bed. In a few minutes she went to make sure that he was getting into bed. When she stuck her head into his room, she saw that he was kneeling beside his bed in prayer. Pausing to listen to his prayers, she heard her son praying over and over again: "Let it be Tokyo! Please dear God, let it be Tokyo!"
 
When he finished his prayers, she asked him, "What did you mean, 'Let it be Tokyo'?"
 
"Oh" the boy said with embarrassment, "we had our geography exam today and I was praying that God would make Tokyo the capital of France."
 
Prayer is not a magical means by which we get God to do what we want. Prayer is an inner openness to God which allows His divine power to be released in us. Ultimately, the power of prayer is not that we succeed in changing God, but that God succeeds in changing us.
 
Dr. Robert L. Allen wrote this story in his book "Greatest Passages of the Bible" by CSS Publishing Company.
 
We invite you to join us in prayer to have the Divine Power of God released in our lives this Sunday morning as we Worship and Praise Him together.
May you truly be blessed today and may you also truly be a blessing to others. 
 
Pastor Bill
