TrinityONLINE January 30, 2022

Hello everyone. With Omicron cases spiking even higher than last week this will be our primary Worship for you this weekend. Next Sunday we hope to back out in the Parking lot, and, if things go according to patterns we have seen, we hope to be back indoors soon. 

Today's Narrative Story has Jesus cutting through Samaritan territory on his way back up to Galillee.  We often don't understand the latent distrust and even aninimity between Jewish and Samaritan peoples. It was bad. 

So things to hear in the story: Jesus reaches out to the Samaritan Woman.  So many reasons to keep his distance. She's the wrong race, wrong gender, wrong religion...and yet.  It's in her question to her fellow villagers that I find a key. In the greek text she says,"He can't be the Messiah." A flat rejection. Then..."Could he?" A glimmer opening the door to God at work where you least expect. 

Remember our Trinity Zoom Annual Meeting at 1:00pm Sunday the 30th. Invite coming out soon.
