Women’s Ministries 2008 Fall Retreat

by Jennifer Booth

In the heat of the day she walks through the center of town. The other women are watching from the cool shadows of their homes.  They went to the well early in the morning. They enjoyed the conversation and the sharing as they filled their jars. She wasn’t welcome. She goes to the well now. Alone.

The surprise is that she sees a stranger at the well. It is a man. She doesn’t want to talk with him. She just wants to get her water and quickly go back to her house.

This day she will not fill her jar with water from the well. She will fill her very soul with a mysterious, life-giving water from the stranger. This stranger will satisfy her deepest longings and desires.

This same man longs to give each of us this life-giving water. This man, Jesus, longs to fulfill the deepest desires of our hearts. Jesus wants us to have life until it fills our hearts and overflows with joy.

The Women’s fall retreat is a time to enjoy this refreshing, life-giving water. Come to the retreat and experience it for yourself.
