He asked her for a drink, and thenlooked for an opportunity to offer her the"living water" that would quench her deepestthirst.

This is what Jesus hasdone for us. As SaintPaul says, "God proveshis love for us in thatwhile we were still sinners

Christ died for us" (Rom 5:8). He offers usthe gift of salvation, the "spring of waterwelling up to eternal life." We don't earn thisgift; Jesus paid for it on the cross.

2013 - 2014

Why Is Paul Always Writing Letters? is the

topic of our last session of GOF Year 11. Come

learn how St. Paul’s letters in the Bible are an

integral part of our Sunday worship.

Deacon Paul Mueller will lead the adult presentation,

along with Michele Baines and Carl Clendenning (music

minister from Gesu Parish), who will lead us in music and

song in the spirit of St. Paul.

Teens will view a DVD about St. Paul featuring Mark

The Bible Geek, followed by discussion with Michele

Hudson. Gilda Ford will teach the Grade 3 - 7 children

and Jane Mueller will be the catechist for the younger

children. The teens and children will conclude their

sessions with music and song led by Fannie Larkins.
