This week we read John 4:5-42 where Jesus stops at Jacob&#8217;s well in the Samaritan village of Sychar. He encounters a woman there in the sixth hour of the day. One of the most fascinating, and longest, conversations in the Gospels unfolds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join us on Wednesday as we enjoy our monthly student-planned and student-led service. Danielle Dockman, PhD student, is presiding. Vamsi Kagitha, MA student, is assisting. Peter Okeyo, MA student, is preaching. Carolina Bowen, M.Div. student, Sophie Warnberg, M.Div. student, and Joshua Elias, M.Div. student are leading music. It should be fantastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We resume our weekly rhythm of communal spiritual practices after a delightful RFS experience last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Monday <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>11:00am | <strong>Text Study<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/luthersem.zoom.us\/j\/98372966722\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zoom<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tuesday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>11:00am | <strong>Contemplative Practice<\/strong> &#8211; OCC Meditation Chapel and on <a href=\"https:\/\/luthersem.zoom.us\/j\/98372966722\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zoom<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6:30pm | <strong>Soup Supper<\/strong> &#8211; Dining Room A<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7:00pm | <strong>Virtual Vespers<\/strong> &#8211; OCC 148 and <a href=\"https:\/\/luthersem.zoom.us\/j\/98372966722\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zoom<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wednesday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>11:00am | <strong>Service of Holy Communion<\/strong> &#8211; Chapel of the Incarnation on on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@LutherSeminary\/streams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>11:45am | <strong>Chapel Cafe<\/strong> &#8211; Dining Room A<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thursday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>11:00am | <strong>Lunch Church<\/strong> &#8211; Dining Room A<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy this illustration from <a href=\"https:\/\/cartoonistbible.com\/visuals\/john-41-54-samaritan-woman-and-second-sign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A Cartoonist&#8217;s Guide to John<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog2019999.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/John\/John-4_1-42_woman+at+the+well+web.jpeg\" alt=\"Jesus has a conversation with a woman at Jacob's Well in the Samaritan village of Sychar.\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We come to our third encounter in our Lenten Journey.
