scripture John 4:1-10 Jesus knew the Pharisees had heard that he was baptizing and making more disciples than John (though Jesus himself didn’t baptize them—his disciples did). So he left Judea and returned to Galilee. He had to go through Samaria on the way. Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime. Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Please give me a drink.” 8 He was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village to buy some food. The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus,“You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?” Jesus replied,“If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.” communion liturgy Beloved in Christ, the Gospel tells us that on the first day of the week Jesus Christ was raised from death, and on that same day appeared to two of the disciples, sat at the table with them, and was made known to them in thebreaking of bread. This is the joyful feast for all people of God. This table is for all who wish to receive the presence of Christ and participate inthe community of God’s people. Let us give thanks to God! We thank you for your continual love and care for every creature. We praise you for forming us in your image and calling us to be your people. We give thanks for the gift of Jesus, who is the way, the truth, and the life. We thank you for the Holy Spirit, who leads us into truth, defends us in adversity, and unites us in one holy church. Therefore, with the entire company of saints in heaven and on earth, we glorify you, God Most Holy. The Sanctus is sung.

Do this in remembrance of me.”In the same way also after supper, Jesus took the cup, and after giving thanksto God, gave it to them and said, “Drink this, all of you. Do this in remembrance of me. Therefore, let us proclaim the mystery of faith. The Memorial Acclamation is sung. the lord’s prayer Let us pray, as Christ our Savior has taught us: 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 debts, As we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, And the glory forever. Amen. You may return to the bulletin for the remainder of the worship order.
