"Christ and the Samaritan Woman" Malczewski, Jacek, 1854-1929
John 4:5-42 The woman at the well
5 So he came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired out by his journey, was sitting by the well. It was about noon. 7 A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink."8 (His disciples had gone to the city to buy food.) 9 The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?" (Jews do not share things in common with Samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered her, "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." 11 The woman said to him, "Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? 12 Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well,and with his sons and his flocks drank from it?" 13 Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life."15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water." The Lord’s Prayer in Three Voices
Voice 1 Our Father who art in Heaven

Voice 3 O Great Spirit, our Father from above,
Voice 1 Hallowed be thy name Thy kingdom come
Voice 2 May love rise again in us today
Voice 3 we honor your name as sacred and holy.
Voice 1 thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Voice 2 with food for every table, shelter for every person,
Voice 3 Bring your good road to us,
where the beauty of your ways in the spirit-world
above is reflected in the earth below.
Voice 1 Give us this day our daily bread
Voice 2 and reverence for every living being.

The corn, the squash, and the wild rice.
All the things we need for each day.

Voice 2 Forgive us our failings in love, and free us from all
falseness,

Voice 2 that the light of our souls may shine
Voice 3 Guide us away from the things that tempt us
to stray from your good road
Voice 1 but deliver us from evil
Voice 2 and help the strength of our spirits endure
for earth and all its people
Voice 3 and set us free from the evil one & his worthless ways.
Voice 1 For the kingdom, the power, & the glory are yours forever
Voice 2 this day, tonight, and forever.
Voice 1 Amen!
Voice 2 Yes, I commit!
Voice 3 Aho! May it be so!

Closing Prayer
Enduring Presence, goal and guide, you go before and await our coming. Only our thirst compels us beyond complaint to conversation,
beyond rejection to relationship. Pour your love into our hearts, that, refreshed and renewed, we may invite others to the living water given to us in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
