The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
Then Jesus declared . . .
John 4:25-26a
She came to the well during the heat of the day. The only thing deeper than this well in the desert was her shame. Nobody else would come at that time, unless they didn't want to be seen. That is exactly why she was there. She expected a well all to herself, but there was someone waiting. He shouldn't be there either, much less talk to this women. This is Samaritan territory. It was unexpected. Somehow against all odds, this man knew everything about her... everything. But what Jesus said next was completely unexpected.
Sunday we embark on a journey together as we see our Lord do the unexpected, not only in the hearts and minds of those he encounters but in us as well.
With Jesus, Expect the Unexpected.
Join us Sunday, invite your friends and family and tell them to expect the unexpected. I can't wait!

A place to give and a place to receive
The local community market is working to improve healthy food access in our community by rescuing food from local grocery stores, local farmers and redistributing it to any and all local families. In this way, they're reducing food waste while also making good food more accessible.
This outreach opportunity gives our church the chance to actively show the love of Jesus just up the road and in our community at large!
🍎What do our wonderful Market Assistant volunteers take care of?
Stocking the market and produce shelves, unloading and sorting grocery rescue donations, repackaging bulk food items, packing dry food boxes for community distribution, sorting produce boxes, composting food and recycling containers, sweeping, and sanitizing surfaces along with many other jobs within the shifts that can be of help.
🍎To Volunteer at The Community Market:

The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
