Sermon Preview March 27, 2011
I love this Gospel reading. Jesus is breaking down all the barriers to relationship with God. Jesus knows the woman at the well, and he helps her to know him...that Jesus is the Living Water that gushes up to Eternal Life. What is really important about religion?

Come to church on Sunday March 27th to hear more!
