A curious Pharisee comes to Jesus in the night. A weary woman meets him beside a well. Grieving sisters wrestle with loss at a tomb. And a devoted follower encounters the risen Christ in a garden. In this four-week series leading up to Easter, we will listen in on four life-changing conversations people have with Jesus: Nicodemus (John 3), the Samaritan woman (John 4), Mary and Martha in the story of Lazarus (John 11), and Mary Magdalene on the morning of the resurrection (John 20). Each encounter reveals something powerful about who Jesus is and how he meets people in their questions, doubts, grief, and longing. As we prepare for Easter, our hope is that we will not only learn from their conversations with Christ—but also begin to recognize our own stories in theirs and discover how Jesus continues to meet people and transform lives today. TREE DEDICATION PRAYER GARDEN The New Horizons class has purchased a tree in the Prayer Garden in honor of Barry & Debbie Stephens.
