The Christian message often surprises us by over-turning our expectations.  In John’s Gospel we read the story of the woman at the well. It is Jesus who is in need – he’s the thirsty one. The woman is the one who can help and serve. Yet as she does this she finds new ways of coming close to God through Jesus and, most importantly, she finds that she is known, accepted and loved in the deepest possible way.  We hope that the pattern of this story can be repeated for each of us here in this Parish.
