Anna at the Well

Visual aid: a bowl of water

Scripture Reading:   John 4:1–42

Introduction

To begin, I ask you to centre yourself, settle yourself and ask that God’s spirit will open us to the truth of the living word that will flow from this passage, washing over us, filling us to the brim and overflowing. Ask God for that now (pause). Still settled, please ask yourself: For what do I thirst? For what does my heart long? What are the empty and dry places inside me? For what does our church thirst? What are the empty and dry places in our world? (pause) Amen.

The story of the encounter with Jesus is told from the point of view of Anna, the Samaritan woman.  See download below.
