Seen Around Church: Week of May 25, 2025
May 28, 2025By Director of Spiritual Formation Rebeca Guzman
- Watch the Story: Start by watching this short video of the story together. Notice how the woman is changed by her conversation with Jesus—and how she becomes a bold messenger of good news.
- Play a Game – “Fill the Cup”: In this simple relay game, you’ll need a spoon, two cups, and a bowl of water. One person is the “well” holding an empty cup, and another is the “messenger” who runs between the bowl and the empty cup, spooning water as fast as possible for one minute. Afterward, talk together: How does it feel to carry water—like carrying God’s love? What does it mean to let that love overflow to others?
- Create Ripple Art: Draw large ripple circles on a piece of paper, like water rings. In the center, write or draw one kind thing someone has done for you. In the next circle, describe how that act made you feel, and in the outer circle, show how it inspired you to help someone else. A simple example might be: “My friend helped me when I was nervous; it made me feel brave, and later I encouraged someone else.”
- Journaling or Conversation Questions:
- Why do you think Jesus decided to talk to the woman?
- I wonder what it means to have “living water.”
- How will you carry Jesus’ love into the world this week?
