Sunday 8th March 2026 - Third Sunday in Lent

REFLECTION:

This week we move to the 4th chapter of the Gospel of John, where we find the moving account of Jesus meeting with the woman drawing water at the well at Sychar in Samaria. There are a number of curious things about this encounter that we will explore.

However, none of these layers of understanding should distract us from the very human drama that unfolds in these verses. Again, shall see a transformation take place in the life of someone who encountered Jesus,

Ian.

VICAR IS ON LEAVE 

Graeme and Jane are on leave from Feb 23rd for 26 days, for a much longed for return trip to Chile where they worked for 18 years as missionaries with CMS. This trip has been put off various times because of COVID, cancer, studies and buildings but now they finally get to do it. Ian Oates has agreed to come back as Locum during this period. Friends will be staying in the vicarage.
