Pastor’s Perspective 12-30-19
I write this perspective as we all prepare to replace our 2019 calendars with a 2020 calendar. I’ve said many times before that there is nothing magical about a new year. It’s just another day with a different date. But it does provide an opportunity to reflect on the events of the past year and […]
Pastor’s Perspective 12-17-19
Christmas break or winter break? Christmas tree or holiday tree? Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays! These are the questions of the season in today’s culture. I haven’t been to an elementary school “Christmas” program in decades and was excited about watching my 6-year-old grandson participate in his last week. The Holly Jolly Pirates of Pinataville. […]
Pastor’s Perspective 12-10-19
Pastor’s Perspective My heart is full with the blessing received from the gift Snyder presented to the Lord, it’s members and our community this past weekend. “Give Him my heart”……that’s the gift most important for each of us to give this Christmas. With that gift, oh, the gifts we receive in return by His grace […]
Pastor’s Perspective 12-03-19
This is the single busiest week of the year here at Snyder. The time, energy and resources we put into the Singing Christmas Tree each year is staggering. With so many moving parts, the Tree requires a lot of planning and attention to detail. None of this would be possible without some key people. Leaders […]

Pastor’s Perspective 11-12-19
There are a lot of things I enjoy talking about with my grandchildren. Death is not at the top of that list. I know it is something we all deal with at some point and we need to help our children process their thoughts when those times come. But I was not expecting the […]
Myanmar Mission Trip – Day 6
To experience a day in a life of another person that God loves in a world so extremely different than my own is an experience I recommend for each of us. It surely helps me on my walk with the Lord in becoming a more well-rounded growing Christian. It will definitely open up your heart […]
Myanmar Mission Trip – Day 5
This morning Bruce taught about the Holy Spirit to the church plus some outlying pastors (10-3) and then have a question and answer time. We took everyone to the Golden Duck tonight. Always a highlight for me and them! (Bruce) We took everyone out to eat. The children were so excited they could not contain […]
Myanmar Mission Trip – Day 4
The Unsung Life of a Pastor’s Wife Someone should write a song about it. Or it could titled, The Silent Unseen Servant. The wife of Pastor Hung Kee Paing is who I observed today and want to give a shout out to God for. She takes care of 20 children daily and all their needs. […]
