Living Water: What Is It?

"Living Water--What Is It?"

Jesus has a wonderful conversation with a woman at a well (John 4:1-30): Jesus says, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that is saying to you 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

I don''t know about you, but if you're like me, you need reviving, renewing, inspiring. Easter brings that, but often often if we know we need something: Perhaps it is faith in Jesus, perhaps it is the wisdom that the spirit of God gives, perhaps it is participating in a loving community.

Come to Ascension tomorrow, as we talk about the living water that Christ promises the woman at the well and all of us!'

Blessings, Pr. Nancy

Holy Week and Easter--Renew Your Life

Dear Friends, During Holy Week and Easter, we move from death to life, as we follow Jesus' walk from betrayal and crucifixion into death and resurrection. I hope that each of you will take time this week to slow down, breathe, pray, and draw closer to God. The world longs for God's presence to bring peace, comfort, and justice. Often it is through people who are dedicated to the healing ministry of Jesus Christ who find the courage to make a difference. His resurrection brings joy and hope to each of us and to the world. As you join the Ascension community in worship, may you find strength and purpose in the life, teachings, and resurrection of the our Lord.

Blessings, Pr. Nancy
