WELCOME ONE ANOTHER 

* CALL TO WORSHIP  
Come, all who seek to follow Jesus. 

We come to learn again the way of Christ. 

Jesus met people where they were—at tables, along the road, in crowded places, and at an ordinary well. 

Jesus saw people others overlooked and welcomed those others avoided. 

And as followers of Jesus, we are called to do the same. 

We open our hearts to welcome others and to cross the boundaries that divide us. 

Come and worship the Christ who chose surprising company and invites us to follow his way of welcome. 

We come to praise the one who accepts us, transforms us, and sends us to love as he loved.

CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER  
Loving God, thank you for welcoming us today with a love that has no limits. You seek us out, know our hearts, and draw us together into one family. Teach us to live like Jesus—to sit with, walk beside, and welcome anyone the world overlooks. Challenge our assumptions and lead us beyond our comfort zones. Knock down the divisions that separate us from each other and from our neighbors. Teach us to reflect your radical hospitality so that all who cross our path know your dignity and grace. Send us into our communities as witnesses to your transforming love. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER  
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

SCRIPTURE  
John 4:5–42 | New Revised Standard Version, updated edition 
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.” 

27 Just then his disciples came. They were astonished that he was speaking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you want?” or, “Why are you speaking with her?” 28 Then the woman left her water jar and went back to the city. She said to the people, 29 “Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! He cannot be the Messiah, can he?” 30 They left the city and were on their way to him. 



39 Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I have ever done.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days. 41 And many more believed because of his word. 42 They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world.” 

These are the words of God for us, the people of God. Thanks be to God
