They come along every now again – the crazy weeks where everything collides. You realise you’re out virtually every evening: Evening worship, Church AGM, planning meetings. And then it dawned on me, not only was it home group on Thursday, but I’d offered to lead the session.
After work I hastily went through my iTunes worship collection and selected a contemplative favourite from Rend Collective, Simplicity, for us to open in worship with. We’d been looking at ‘thirst’ during our Sunday evening service, so thought I’d take the easy option and follow that theme. I looked up a passage from John 4, ‘Jesus talks with a Samaritan woman’. To be fair, I would have liked to have put a bit more thought into it, but time wasn’t on my side.
God doesn’t do coincidences.
