Hey there! Since you're already enjoying the convenience of our email newsletter, did you know you can help us even more by going fully paperless? Some people still get both the print and email versions of The Bell, and while we're happy to keep you in the loop either way, opting for email only can make a real impact.

• Did you know we spend over $7,000 a year on postage alone? When we factor in the costs of paper, printing, and labor, that amount nearly doubles.
• By going paperless, you’ll help us be better stewards of our resources.
• You’ll still receive the same great content, complete with clickable links and updates delivered straight to your phone, tablet, or computer.

Ready to make the switch?

Or email Kate with your name and email at info@snydermbc.com

Thank you for helping our church family stay connected while being mindful of our resources and saving a few trees along the way!

Adult Day Trip!

Join us for a toe-tappin’, good-timin’ adventure as we head to the Rudy Theater for the Classic Country Jubilee Matinee Show.

We’ll be enjoying the nostalgic sounds of classic country music at the always-popular Rudy Theater.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of country classics or just love a good time with great friends, this is a trip you won’t want to miss!

Tickets are $20 – available now in the Church Office. Payment is required at the time of registration, and spots are limited!

Summer Reading Club!

Join our Summer Reading Program from June 1 to August 31 — open to all ages! This year’s theme invites you to “Camp Out with a Good Book” and enjoy stories under the stars.

Reading Goals:

• Adults & Youth: Read at least 8 books
• Grades 4–6: 15+ chapter books
• Children: 30+ picture books

All books must be checked out from the church library. Sign up in the library to get started! (The Library is located in the Gathering Hall - across from the Fellowship Hall)

Kids can collect weekly brag tags, and upon reaching the goal, they will receive a tote bag (1 per family). 

Happy reading!

Library Summer Hours: Sundays 9:15 - 11am, Tuesdays & Wednesdays 10am - 2pm

Sponsor Gifts for Mission of Hope Children – Due July 6

If you sponsor a child through Mission of Hope International, now is the time to send in your gift! The cost depends on where your student attends school:

Please mail or bring a check to the Church Office or give online by selecting "Kenya Gift Catalog" and writing “sponsorship gift” in the memo line.

We also hope to give each child a photo of their sponsor! You can drop off your photo with Susie Reeder or email it to her at susier@snydermbc.com.
