Nicodemus came at night, the Samaritan woman came at noon. He arrived with status; she arrived with stigma. He spoke in riddles, she spoke plainly, and received the longest theological conversation in John's Gospel.

Jesus began with vulnerability (“Give me a drink”), then slowly revealed the truth of her life. Jesus described her life not to shame her, but to free her. And then, the remarkable happens. She ran home and shared Jesus’s message with her neighbors and friends, becoming the first evangelist in John.

See you Sunday as we gather to worship and welcome representatives from St. James School into our service.
