As we experience the gift of water in the form of unprecedented levels of rain and snow across our state, let us reflect on how we have tended the well. Have our actions turned life-giving waters deadly? Without judgment or recriminations, can we become better keepers of the well? Here is a water-focused devotion for the Third Sunday in Lent, from our friends at Presbyterians for Earth Care

March 12, 2023
By Courtney Bowen

John 4:5-42

“Living water” does not describe our water. Water in many places, thanks to pollution and runoff, cannot support life at all. It’s the opposite of living water. It’s deadly water.

Jesus says to the woman of Samaria, “If you knew the gift of God … you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” Do we know a gift from God when it’s in front of us? Do we, like the woman, fail to recognize it?

We have not well-tended to the gift from God of water. But, we are not without hope. Change is possible.

Initially, the woman is confused and mocks Jesus (“Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob?”). Yet, the woman is able to move forward, see more clearly, and even asks Jesus for this “living water.” Jesus proceeds to tell her everything she’s ever done. There’s no mention of sin or judgment of those actions. There is only the revelation that Jesus knows her entirely. And in being known by Jesus, the woman begins to understand who he is - the Messiah. It is in knowing Jesus and being known by Jesus, that the woman experiences the life-giving gift, the living water of Christ. She is changed and rushes to the village to share the good news with others.

How might we be changed by Christ? In knowing him and being known by him, might we be more cognizant of gifts from God? Might that knowing, that relationship, change how we live and treat God’s gifts - not turning them deadly, but ensuring that we and others may experience that “spring of water gushing up to eternal life?”

Prayer
God of Living Waters, help us to know you, and in that knowing become channels of your gifts to the world. Amen.

Courtney Bowen is Associate Pastor at First Presbyterian Church in Jackson, TN (a certified Earth Care Congregation of the PCUSA).

On this day in Women's History Month we honor Jane Adams.

James Adams was one of the most prominent reformers of the early 20th century Progressive Era and would probably have been considered an environmental justice activist if the term had existed at the time. She was a pioneer in uncovering environmental health concerns and advocating for environmental equality for all people, no matter their income or ethnicity. She and her fellow activists uncovered lead poisoning and industrial poisons in many low-income communities. In 1931, she became the first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

We are celebrating the frontline residents living near the Murphy oil drilling site today! Their persistence & demand for justice has won: the City of LA is ordering the oil company E&B Resources to enclose and electrify the drilling site. Our Southern California Director, Allis, has been closely working in a coalition of environmental groups pushing hard on the Catholic Diocese who owns the land to live their faith-values!

Tell Gov. Newsom: End the Revolving Door at CalGEM!

For years, CalGEM – the top regulator of California’s fossil fuel industry – has failed to fulfill its mandate to protect public health and the climate. It has failed to provide key data on oil and gas hazards to Californians, issue plugging orders for thousands of idle wells, inspect existing wells for leaks, secure appropriate bonds for well cleanup, and respond to public comments in a timely manner. With the prior head's resignation, Governor Newsom now has the opportunity to appoint someone who is committed to public health and environmental justice. to this important position.

At the end of 2022, the head of CalGEM (a former Chevron executive) rubber stamped hundreds of new oil drilling permits — about half of which allow drilling within the public safety buffer zone required under SB 1137. Thankfully, he just resigned. Now, Governor Newsom will appoint his replacement....

La Mesa First United Methodist Church, La Mesa, CA is the newest Certified Cool Congregation at the 50% reduction level! After upgrading windows and lighting to cut their energy use, they learned that the cost to install a new roof with solar panels would be no more than what they were already paying just for electricity. The church expects to be able to pay off the loan for the solar roofs in just seven years. Congrats La Mesa!
