Lent Reflections at Hilton Church
Hilton Parish Church
Sunday 8 March 2026
A worship service was held at 10.30am in the church on Sunday 8 March. The service was simultaneously broadcast on the Church Facebook page. For the next four weeks, you can catch up here.
The Bible passage is John 4:4-42 and Duncan led and preached. The sermon begins at about 52:50 in the catch up.
The sermon was on the famous encounter between Jesus and a Samaritan woman beside a well.
Duncan shared this link from BBC Scotland which is available for four weeks – Rev Gillean MacLean leads the first of four weekly acts of worship recorded in Hilton Church with Duncan doing the Bible reading. (The service starts a few minutes in.) Gillean was also preaching on John 4:4-42.
John writes: The passage reminds us of the fact that Jesus knows us through-and-through; Jesus goes out of his way to meet us: Jesus appears in the ordinary circumstances of our lives; Jesus gives us a life-transforming message, and we realise that all this time, it has been Jesus we have been waiting for.
Here’s the reflection we shared this morning, the congregation reading the words in bold:
Lord I am thirsty
Come to the well
My soul is weary
Come to the well
Bruised and battered
Come to the well
Misunderstood
Come to the well
Judged and found wanting
Come to the well
Wounded and withdrawn
Come to the well
Ready to quit
Come to the well
Come to the well
Where there is water that is
Thirst quenching
Wound healing
Soul soothing
Life giving
Water of life
found in the one
who knows our name
and calls us back
to drink deeply
of the Wisdom of the Well
Here are links to websites which Duncan has recommended we explore:
The Bible Project
The Bible Society
The London Institute for Contemporary Christianity
