SIGNS OF LIFE - our series on JOHN’S GOSPEL

 

This week it’s the woman at the well - part 3. Her encounter with Jesus is truly wonderful - moving, revealing, truly transformational for her because of what Jesus does and who Jesus is.

 

Here are some notes to mull over this part of the story.

March Communion Offering - UCCF

For over a century UCCF has trained generations of students to live and speak for Jesus at their university, and seen thousands come to faith through Christian Unions (CUs). Students have an unparalleled opportunity to reach their friends with the gospel. The work of UCCF ensures that CU students are supported and trained to impact the university for good, in Jesus’ name.
