FOR LENT

There will be a weekly Lent refection study. This is held on Wednesday at 6.30pm and Thursdays at 3.00pm 

There is also a daily reflection, Walking Through Lent.  A daily thought written by Heather Lodge for us on our journey through Lent.  See below.

God bless you and we look forward to worshipping together from wherever you are……

 

WALKING THROUGH LENT 11: 27 February 2021

WATER OF LIFE

Ps 55:22 “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.”

John 4:13-14a “Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.”

Our favourite café is on the riverside path between Surbiton and Kingston. Newly renamed Ginger Bees, it is mostly an outdoor café. (Normally) you can while away a sunny Saturday afternoon with a cup, or three, of tea, watching life go by on the Thames. It is only when the café is closed though that its amazing artwork is revealed. This swan adorns the front shutter, standing over six feet tall.

In today’s Gospel reading we meet Jesus at the well with the woman from Samaria. Like our afternoon cup of tea, the water she has drawn will quench a physical thirst. However, like tea, it will not be long before more is needed. Our spiritual thirst requires something much more satisfying and, if only we will accept it, Jesus offers us living water that will sustain us through all our cares and anxieties. Accompanying the Gospel reading is a promise from the Psalmist that Mendelssohn transcribed so serenely in his oratorio Elijah, that God will not let his people fall.

It is in such a God we see hope for the world.
