FOR BACKGROUND STUDY this weekend:

BECOMING A VESSEL FOR LIVING WATER

Isaiah 12:3 — With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

Isaiah 58:11 — The Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your needs in parched places and make your bones strong, and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water whose waters never fail.

Jeremiah 2:13— For my people … have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and dug out cisterns for themselves, cracked cisterns that can hold no water.

Zechariah 14:8 — 8 On that day living water shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of it to the eastern sea and half of it to the western sea; it shall continue in summer as in winter.

John 4: 13-14 —9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?”
10 Jesus 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.”
11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?”
13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but 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.”
15 The 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.”

John 7:37-39  —37 On the last day of the festival, the great day, while Jesus was standing there, he cried out, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, 38 and let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said, ‘Out of the believer’s heart shall flow rivers of living water.’ ”

Revelation 21:6 —6 Then [God] said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life.”

Farewells: Geraldine (Gerry) Disbrow Tilton and Barry Brodil

Unexpected Goodbye to BARRY BRODIL

At the request of his widow Jan Brodil and their family, we share the unexpected and sad news that Barry Brodil died in his sleep while at home last night. Jan says that he played 18 holes of golf on Wednesday, drove himself to his haircut on Thursday, and was looking forward to the arrival of his son and daughter-in-law for a visit as of last night.

Jan observed that she was cancelling Barry’s tee times this morning, because he was such a social and active person with many friends looking forward to spending time with him. She also reflected that people in Jackson and the Mt Washington Valley were so wonderful and prayed for Barry for so long, she wanted our church and community to know how much they appreciate our long-distance care and support. During their time in the valley, Jan and Baery were active and beloved members of our community, and we remained connected with them when they moved to Massachusetts following Barry’s ski accident that caused spinal injury, paralysis, and life-altering experiences.

The family will send updates about any arrangements they make, especially their wishes for memorial contributions to causes that are meaningful to Barry Brodil and his family.

Farewell to GERRY TILTON


Gerry Tilton was in hospice at Memorial Hospital and receiving support from First Church in North Conway, including visits with Rev. Walt Hampton.  She had been diagnosed with a tumor in her lung, and died within a few brief days. Rev. Hampton shared: “Friends, Our dear Gerry slipped the surly bonds of earth last evening. A shining light of faith in action even to the end. I don’t have any additional details yet, but as soon as I do, I will update you. Blessings and peace to you. Wall”

Shared with us by Rev. Gordon Rankin, Conference Minister for NH UCC: “I wanted to let you know that Gerry TIlton passed into God’s eternal care yesterday evening.  A Service of Remembrance will be held at First Church of Christ Congregational in North Conway at a time yet to be set.”

Earlier, Rev. Walt Hampton had shared: “The work of a pastor is usually joyfu. Always beautiful. Sometimes hard. This is hard. Really hard. … please pray for her family, her friends, and all those who love her, that they may find comfort in Gerry’s extraordinary faith and confidence in life eternal.”
