Weekly Youth Lenten Reflection:
What's in your Well? (John 4:1-14)
Identify your well: What are you trying to fill your life with: social media, material things, activities...? Which of these things actually bring you joy or peace, and which ones just leave you drained or empty. Run your hands under a faucet of running water, and as you do ask God to help you focus more on what brings you joy and peace and to start to let go of things that don't.

The 2nd Sunday of the Month we ask for a youth to read Scripture during the 9:30am worship service.
