They were astonished that he was speaking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you want?” or, “Why are you speaking with her?”?28Then the woman left her water jar and went back to the city. She said to the people,?29“Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! He cannot be the Messiah, can he?”?30They left the city and were on their way to him.??39Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I have ever done.”?40So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days.?41And many more believed because of his word.?42They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world.”31115014732000First Reading: Exodus 17:1-7Because the thirsty Israelites quarreled with Moses and put God to the test, Moses cried out in desperation to God. God commanded Moses to strike the rock to provide water for the people. The doubt-filled question — “Is the?Lord?among us or not?” — received a very positive answer.1From the wilderness of Sin the whole congregation of the Israelites journeyed by stages, as the?Lord?commanded. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.?2The people quarreled with Moses, and said, “Give us water to drink.” Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the?Lord?”?3But the people thirsted there for water; and the people complained against Moses and said, “Why did you bring us out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and livestock with thirst?”?4So Moses cried out to the?Lord, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.”?5The?Lord?said to Moses, “Go on ahead of the people, and take some of the elders of Israel with you; take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go.?6I will be standing there in front of you on the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it, so that the people may drink.” Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel.?7He called the place Massah and Meribah, because the Israelites quarreled and tested the?Lord, saying, “Is the?Lord?among us or not?”____________________________________________________Tithe.ly App or Auto-Giving?This might be a great time to think about other ways to support your church. If you are unable to get here, how will you financially support our mission and ministry? Call the office today to learn more about these awesome ways to give and thanks for your continued support of Our Savior’s!Second Reading: Romans 5:1-11Though we often hear that God helps those who help themselves, here Paul tells us that through Jesus’ death God helps utterly helpless sinners. Since we who had been enemies are reconciled to God in the cross, we now live in hope for our final salvation.1Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,?2through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God.?3And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,?4and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,?5and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.??6For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.?7Indeed, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die.?8But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.?9Much more surely then, now that we have been justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath of God.?10For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more surely, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life.?11But more than that, we even boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.____________________________________________Prayer of the DayMerciful God, the fountain of living water, you quench our thirst and wash away our sin. Give us this water always. Bring us to drink from the well that flows with the beauty of your truth through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.Amen.Gospel: John 4:5-30, 39-42Jesus defies convention to engage a Samaritan woman in conversation. Her testimony, in turn, leads many others to faith.5[Jesus]?came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.6Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired out by his journey, was sitting by the well. It was about noon.??7A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”?8(His disciples had gone to the city to buy food.)?9The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?” (Jews do not share things in common with Samaritans.)?10Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”?11The woman said to him, “Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water??12Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well, and with his sons and his flocks drank from it?”?13Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,?14but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.”?15The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.”??16Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back.”?17The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband’;?18for you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true!”?19The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet.?20Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem.”?21Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.?22You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.? 4800600-3238500-95253429000Ministry for CaringWe ask you to pray for each personby name at least once inthe following week.Health for Members: Dylin and Perri Teichert; Griffin and Grayer Hansen; Jane Flinn; John Walstrom; Duane Sanow; Tina Saue; Keeley Warner; Gayle Jensen; and Olivia Baldwin.Health for Others:Ruth Ann Lee, wife of Jerry Lee; Bob Rovang, brother-in-law of Paul and Rosie Dehli; Kim Klosek, friend of Jim and Elaine Vik; Lowell Britz, cousin of Rita and Bob Knutson; Rich Eldridge, cousin of Rita and Bob Knutson; Doug Hutt, cousin of Lois Christenson, Rick Christenson, brother of Jerry Christenson; Karen Rush, friend of Paul and Rosie Dehli; Jeremiah Peters, son of Robyn Enevoldsen; Duane Anderson, brother-in-law of Marvin and Gayle Jensen; Ty McDougal, cousin of Kevin and Julie Jones; Bill Olson, brother-in-law of Julie Olson; Fern and Bill Page, sister and brother-in-law of Floyd Florey; Lucas Flaherty, grandson of Jim and Jan Flaherty; Dr. Bob Smith, friend of Maxine Slettum; Aaron Meyers, nephew of Debbie Dahl; Christopher Kepner, nephew of Gregg and Karen Kepner; and Jody Renbarger mother of Cory and Amanda (Smith) Renbarger.Serving in the military:Lawrence Holicky, son-in-in-law of Kay Quenemoen; Ethan Holicky, grandson of Kay Quenemoen; Jackson Roe, grandson of Jim and Evon Roe; Jacob Anspach, son of Dave and Barb Anspach; Alex Lynne, grandnephew of Lois Christenson; Katie Lynne, grandniece of Lois Christenson; Shane Reuther, son-in-law of Dave and Loni Eid; Tyler Meyenburg, son of Rick and Mort Meyenburg; Kirk Larson and Ross Larson, sons of Jerry and Deb Larson; Daniel Harter, son-in-law of Susan Marcinkowski.How might I pray?We ask you to pray for each person by name at least once in the following week.A sample prayer for healing …By your power, great God, our Lord Jesus Christ healed the sick and gave new hope to the hopeless.

In order to keep us all safe as the Coronavirus moves across America, the Church Council has decided to make a few changes to worship. 1) You will be welcomed by an usher with an open door, but not a handshake. 2) The Pastor(s) leading worship will not shake hands before or after the service.3) We will be using a Pouring Chalice for Communion and you will be handed an empty cup by a person wearing a glove. The concern was touching other cups as you took your cup from the tray.4) We will not pass the offering plate, we will have a plate at the door as you leave worship, so that you can leave your offering there.5) As always, if you are not feeling well, remember you can stay home and listen to us by the radio on 1460 KDMA at 11:00am each Sunday Morning.We appreciate your help as we pray to keepall our members safe and in worship. ................
