"Through the power of Christ, we are learning to live in simplicity, thankfulness, contentment and
generosity in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana."

Day 5: Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

"Woman at the well" - Chinese painting on rice paper (1988)
Day 5: "You have no bucket and the well is deep." (John 4:11)
 
We pray:
God, spring of the Living water,
help us to understand that the more we join together the pieces of our ropes,...

the more deeply our buckets reach into your divine waters!
Awaken us to the truth that the gifts of the other,
are an expression of your unfathomable mystery.
And make us sit at the well together
to drink from your water
which gathers us in unity and peace.
We ask this in the name of your son Jesus Christ,
who asked the Samaritan woman to give him water for his thirst.
Amen.
