Dear All Saints and St Mary's,

This week's Gospel reading tells the story of Jesus and the woman at the well — a moment where Jesus gently crosses cultural boundaries to notice and speak to someone others might have ignored. From this simple interaction, the conversation deepens. Jesus speaks of 'living water' — the grace of God that refreshes and renews us. Reminding us in the third week of Lent that God meets us in ordinary places and welcomes us just as we are, ready to guide us.

This week at Messy Muddy Church, we continue our exploration of saints. No spoilers about who we're exploring! But they were known for their courage of faith.

The woman at the well also shows great courage. After meeting Jesus, she goes and tells others about her experience. Her story reminds us that faith often grows through simple witness, honest conversations, curiosity, and openness.

May we be encouraged this week to notice God in the simple moments each day, and may we all be a little more courageous in our faith.
