THE THIRD SUNDAY IN LENT - 3/8/2026
During Lent, we accompany Jesus to his cross and resurrection, and this coming Sunday, we stop at a well to receive a drink of water. The water turns out to be Christ himself. Come to worship, and join all of us thirsty people, made alive in Christ.

An Eastern Orthodox icon of Jesus and the woman at the well, who in legend is named St. Photina, makes clear that the church has connected the well of John 4 to baptism: in this depiction, the well is in the shape of a cross, as were some ancient fonts. One such cross-shaped font was in the church in Ephesus.
