In the Gospel of John, Chapter 4, Jesus reveals
himself to the Samaritan woman at the well, telling her about the Living Water,
so “whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.” As we prepare
ourselves for the season of Lent, one where we often practice fasting and
deprivation, let us consider how we can come to embody Christ
in our work,
thoughts, and deeds.
Clean Water
for the World (CWFW) has prayerfully asked Courthouse Community UMC to consider participating in the Lenten
Promise this Lent (February 22 – April 9, 2023).
For many,
Lent is an opportunity to reflect inwardly, deepening our understanding and
relationship with Christ our Lord. It is an opportunity to take 40 days to be
intentional, to take a step closer to Christ. Clean Water For the World (CWFW)
would like to walk with our congregation this Lent to deepen our walk,
together.
As a symbol
of deepening our Walk with the Lord, many choose an external sign or action to
reflect that, such as giving up a flavored beverage. This Lent, let us
prayerfully consider taking this a step further and donating what would have
been spent on flavored beverages towards a purifier to help provide a community
in El Salvador, Guatemala, or Haiti with access to clean water.
