The Woman at the Well . . .

We all know the treasured story; of Jesus erasing the boundaries of gender, religion, and ethnicity as his life intersects with that of a Samaritan woman. Over the years, the story has become increasingly nuanced. In truth, the Gospel of John offers few descriptors of the woman, who remains nameless. She is simply an anonymous person whose encounter with Jesus reveals God’s grace. Lent is an appropriate time for all believers to revisit that well in Samaria. As we search for the living water in our lives, we will undoubtedly visit many different wells. But, during Lent, we are called to the one well that is life-giving. We are called to encounter Jesus in a much deeper and much more transformative way than we have ever had before. That is the essence of salvation: being freed from our past, being reconciled to God in the present, and being called to an eternal, grace-inspired fellowship with God. Now, that is genuinely Good News.

Blessings,

Pastor Tom

Prayer Requests & Celebrations

At Church of the Four Seasons, we consider it our privilege to lift up prayers for you or someone you know. There are request cards and a pen on the back of the chairs in each row. Please fill out the request card. During the opening song, the requests will be gathered and at prayer time, each request will be lifted up by Pastor Tom. You can also phone or text the church with a request which will be prayed over immediately and read the following Sunday during prayer time. You also have the option to go to our website to post a request. Please print legibly and remember to include the following:

• Contact information
