The Story...

We are doing a new thing for our HighSchool Camps. Instead of one speaker, we are having four different speakers looking at the John 4 passage of the Samaritan Woman at the well with Jesus.

I introded it last night. Talked about the idea of we are all in the midst of a story and this week our stories converge but will be told from many perspectives. It is at a given moment in time that we see the story, run with it for a while, and then have to leave it but it is not done.

Tonight, Scott Falk, gives the background to the story, a bit of history, theology, etc. What got them here and this person's worldviews.

Tomorrow night, Jonelle Garo-Kazarian, a wonderful friend and pastor/counselor, is presenting the story from a woman's perspective.

Wednesday night, Greg Ehlert, is giving a man's perspective of this situation. Thursday and Friday I wrap it up with the disciples' viewpoint and coming in the middle of a story, judgementalism and asking for a new perspective. SomedayI will write the one-man narrative that my friend Chris Harrison performed last HS Camp. Wonderful fresh insight called, The Sixth Man. And Friday a look at the woman and others through Isaiah 61's eyes and vision.

Peace
