Our Gift to GodMarch 5, 2017Adult OfferingAnonymousStudent Offering 15,048.00 602.00 130.92Total 15,780.92Thank you for your generosity!Lynn’s Music NotesA few years ago, I read The Day I Met Jesus by Frank Viola andMary Demuth. The book is a narrative that tells of five womenfrom the Gospels and their encounters with Jesus. One of thewomen, was the Samaritan woman at the well. She was a walkingscandal and embarrassment. The longest personal conversationJesus ever had (recorded in the Gospels) was with this woman!Can you relate to this woman? If you have ever been lonely,known use or abuse, if you have ever experienced the burden ofcarrying your sins, with all the shame and guilt that accompaniesthem, then certainly you can. This story teaches us that despiteour greatest sins, the Lord cherishes and loves us.Ft.
