The Well

This Sunday–April 1st–is Friend Day @ The Well.

The author of the book of Ecclesiastes wrote:
“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NIV)

That is the Power of Partnership. Where we are weak, our friends make us stronger. When they fall down, we help them up. Our service is going to be a celebration of friendship with songs about friendship, testimonies of the positive impact that friendship has had in people’s lives, and a special message from Arron Chambers on the Power of Partnership.

Every “Friend” who comes to The Well will receive a special gift.

When Superman was called to help he sprang into action. When Batman saw the Bat light he came to the rescue.

This message is a reminder that a true hero answers the call for help and that one person who answers God’s call can change the world.

My friend Kellea LeSage took some great pictures at The Well. Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy!

In The Well this week I’m going to share a message based on one of my favorite shows, “Heroes.”

We’re going to talk about the fact that a hero answers the call when there’s a need.

Worship is going to be amazing. Matt and his band have prepared an awesome set, we have an original drama from our drama team, and a few other surprises.

Please come to The Well, but don’t come alone.

To get you ready for this weekend I have a video for you. Enjoy–Arron

This is a little late, but here is the sermon from March 18, 2007. You can download the mp3, listen with the built in player below, or subscribe to the RSS feed and podcast listed on the side.

“Please come back to the Well, but don’t come alone.”

You’re going to hear me and Matt say this a lot.

The Well is all about connecting people to God and to each other, so Friend Day (night) at The Well is going to be a great opportunity for us to bring a bunch of friends for some living water.

My message is going to be, “How to be a foolish friend.”

We have a lot of cool stuff planned to help build up, honor, and celebrate friendship, so come to The Well on April 1st . . . and bring a friend.

Wow!

What an amazing night!

We had a great crowd–there were over 200 people at the first night of The Well.

The worship–led by Matt Estrin (and his band)–was uplifting and full of passion.

It was really moving to see people following the example of the Samaritan woman (John 4) and leaving their “jars” at the base of a life-size well.

And I loved watching artist Nancy Asbell worship God through her painting.

I’m trying to gather some pictures.

We had a professional take pictures and she’s going to send me those, but I’d also love to have any pics you have that I can post here.

Here’s are a couple that my friend Daniel took from the evening:

Besides your pictures I’d also love to hear your comments about the opening of The Well.

Have a blessed day!
Arron

This is a connecting place for those involved with The Well at Christ’s Church in Jacksonville.
